Why use static variable in programming language?

For C programming, the use of a static variable has two uses: One reason is to hide the variable from other modules. The scope of the static variable is limited to the compilation unit that it is described in. The second use of a static variable is to keep the value of the variable intact through the entire program execution unit.

How do variable costing and absorption costing differ?

marginal costing is also known as contribution costing. its a costing method that's includes only a variable cost of a product no attempt is made to allocate or appropriate fixed costs to cost centers. the setting of prices is basically based on the variable costs of making a product. if the prices are set above this unit cost then each item sold will make a condition to fixed costs. on the other hand absorption costing or full costing is an approach to the costing of products that allocated all costs of production to cost centers. The aim is to ensure that all business costs are covered.

Why GAAP precludes use of variable costing for external financial reports?

GAAP does NOT preclude use of variable costing for external financial reports. The only place the literature addresses this question is in ARB (Accounting Research Bulletin #4) which states that the exclusion of all overhead from inventory is unacceptable. Variable costing does not attempt to exclude overhead associated with the production of product, i.e. variable overhead. But it does exclude the cost of providing productive capacity. It is odd that in its discussion of the current standard for segment reporting that the FASB said that external users of financial information should received data prepared on a basis consistent with that used by management for decision making. Since it is widely accepted that variable costing is useful to management, can this statement by the FASB be consider an endorsement of variable costing in the financial statements of companies which use it internally?

What is a potential advantage of variable costing relative to absorption costing?

In absorption costing, you would apply fixed overhead costs for your business to the cost of manufacturing products on a per-unit basis. In variable costing, the fixed overhead costs would be a lump sum (including all variable expenses such as supplies and raw materials) rather than a per-unit expense. One potential advantage of variable costing would be that when you finally sell all products in your inventory, you will have an income surplus, because you would not have previously received revenues for items that were in your inventory.
