So I don’t get the part where the fixed cost of each unit is multiplied by the demand in getting the TFC. I’m wondering why. Because that seems to make it vary as and when demand units changes. Can you please throw more light on that?
It is multiplied by the budgeted demand because that is what will have been used when calculating the absorption rate. That total is the budgeted fixed overheads and that total will be the same whatever the actual production is.
When you say “In a situation where we are manufacturing several products, all of which use the same limited resource, then we need to decide on how best to use the limited resource in production.” how best, meaning maximising profit?
Hello Sir, The solution in the free notes for example 2 is different there they have taken only material cost as the variable cost and other cost i.e. labour & other variable costs as fixed cost. Is it because they have mentioned in the question that “in the short-term only material costs are variable”? Is the solution behind the notes for example 2 wrong??
The video is working fine. Have you tried again since? If you are still having the problem please post in the ‘Technical Problems’ forum and admin will try and help you. https://opentuition.com/forum/technical-problems/

Are these lectures up to date for 2024?

for the profit part, can we just take $2 and multiply it by the number of units produced ?

Is anything wrong with the website? I can’t play the video in this website. I need to go to YouTube to watch the video.
