c) Variable costing and absorption costing produce different net income results.  Variable costing takes into consideration the variable costs of production to produce a contribution while absorption costing considers the cost of goods sold to produce the gross profit.  Variable costing is more of a management accounting technique for decision making while absorption costing follows the financial accounting procedures.
