Why does traditional Absorption costing tend to under-allocate overhead costs to low-volume products ? Thanks 🙂
Hi Anonymous570
Compared to the other questions… this one is less complex…
OK – overhead costing assumes more machine hours (or labour hours) or units means more overheads for that product type
Low volume product lines may not use many machine/ labour hours or have many units… but those product types might still be causing a good proportion of the overhead total costs – eg purchasing/ ordering/ storage costs etc.. but they dont receive a fair share of these because not many machine hours are used in their actual production.
Hope that explains..
Cheers! Done well!
May I ask ,does the computer white board too hard to manage, I mean with the time?
I am going to book my exam online, but a bit worried about white board as many of us haven’t used to such a tool specially when we are dealing time.
Really appreciate your feedback. Thanks!
Hi Sarasiw…. sorry to butt in but its the tutor -question forum… lots of discussion on this type of thing on the CIMA student board though (link below)

It is true that it is an extra struggle -especially for mathematical exams like P1 & F1 etc not to be able to note down rough workings with a pen & paper (due to the exams-at-home invigilation rules).
The practice whiteboard software is on the link below:
There are also some independent non-Pearson Vue centres which offer social distancing that are still operating for CIMA exams – when you book your exam via MyCIMA you should see a list of these (nearest distance first) I do advise you to call up to check before you travel too far though.
Anyway – hopefully thats helpful!
Many Thanks,
Cath
