12. A basic tent of variable costing is that period costs should be currently expensed. What is the
rationale behind this procedure?
'2. Period costs are uncontrclable and should not be charged to a speatic product.
1. Period costs are generally immaterial in amount and the cost of assigning the amounts to
specific products would outweigh the benefits
© Allocation of period costs 1s arbitrary at best and could lead to erroneous decision by
management
4d. Because period costs will occur whether production occurs, it is improper to allocate these
‘costs to production and defer a current cost of doing business.
