hi,
could you expain to me why there is no clear relationship between profit and sales volume , on BPP textbook, it states that as sales volume rises, the total profit will rise by the sume of the gross profit per unit plus the amount of overhead absorbed per unit, I do not understand this statement very much
thank youMarch 7, 2014 at 12:44 pm #161713It is a strange way for BPP to write it.
All they mean is that as sales volume rises, the gross profit will rise by the gross profit per unit before fixed productions costs (because fixed costs will not be affected by changes in volume – only the sales revenue and the variable production costs.)
(I assume that you have watched my lectures on marginal and absorption costing?)

I am not the tutor for MA1 and it is years and years since I have taught anything about the interlocking system (it is not in the syllabus for the ACCA Qualification exams).
