overhead absorption... confused..help needed...
11y ago#1Can I suggest that you watch the lecture on the absorption of overheads, where I specifically deal with this point?
There are no rules in management accounting - you can absorb in whatever way you think is the most appropriate.
In the exam you are told which way to absorb - usually it is on about hours or on machine hours. If you watch the lecture then I explain the logic.
