the main diffrence is the fixed manufacture cost in variable is calculated is periiod cost but in absorpation is calculated is product cost

Fixed Manufacturing overheads are treated as Period costs in Variable costing as against in Absorption costing the Overhead is absorbed and hence becomes part of the overall product cost and considered as product cost.

These are the two diffrent methods of costings for product:

 

Variable costing method considers only veriable costs directly associated with the manufacturing DM+DL+DO etc

Absorption costing method considers Variable costs as well allocation of Fixed costs associated. 

 

Basic diffrence leads to diffrence in WIP closing and opening Stock of material and hence profitablity.
