Dear John, I hope you are well Im hoping you can advise me on variable cost query. I was working through my bpp practice & revision kit and cannot understand why when calculating the cost of making, Heating and Power costs as well as machine costs were not included in the calculation. H&P costs in the question it includes an apportionment which understandably should be excluded. But I don't understand why the none apportioned directly incurred as production of items were not included? Also with Machine costs - semi variable, my understanding is that only the Fixed costs which were identified should have been excluded? I hope my explanation makes sense and you might be able to explain why this is the case? Please let me know if I am not making sense and I will type in full extract. Many thanks

I cannot give you an answer without seeing the question. You don't need to type it all out - just tell me the number and name of the question (because I have the BPP kit).
