    I am sorry, but what you are asking does not make sense.

    Absorption sales volume does not mean anything.

    It seems as though this is a variance question, but you have made no mention of variances when you typed out the question.

    I suggest that you watch our free lectures – they are a complete course for Paper F2 and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
