Variable costing uses fixed overhead as a lump sum, rather than a per-unit, expense. Under this method, you include all your variable costs such as supplies, raw materials and shipping. You add the full cost of fixed overhead for the period. You do not figure these expenses on a per-unit basis.
Change #1: You'll be able to submit your FAFSA earlier than in the past. 1  You can file your 2017â18 FAFSA as early as Oct. 1, 2016, rather than beginning on Jan. 1, 2017. 2  The earlier submission date will be a permanent change, enabling you to complete and submit a FAFSA as early as October 1 every year.
Don't Make Excuses. Filling out FAFSA can take anywhere from 21 minutes to 55 minutes, which is not too long for free money. And don't say that your family's too wealthy or your grades are too low. These are all myths about financial aid, according to the Department of Education. Don't leave money on the table.
