    Sorry, but I do not have the 2011 Kaplan Mock!

    (I hope you do realise that the real exam this time will be a different format and will have two sections – one with multiple choice questions)

    Yes I do realize that, but the part of question is 3 products ego bling and out have total unit cost respectively = 18 , 24 , 30 , fixed manufacturing oh are absorbed into unit costs by charge of 200% of VC so in the solution VC is being calculated by 1/3 of the total unit cost i.e 1/3 of 18 and so on , what would be the logic behind it ?

    If variable costs were 100, then fixed costs would be 200. So total costs would be 300, then therefore variable costs are 1/3 of the total cost.
