Hi John !
Hope all is well and you are fine !How possible things like this happen in real life ?? Its quite challenging me
Fixed Cost $ 300,000. Absortion rate is $ 20 Per unit.
Production capacity is 30,000 units
My doubts
1-If we want to operate at full capacity, are fixed costs going to be double ( $ 600,000) ??If no, why this happen ??
Sir, could you give full details to got the point. Its really questioning me many questions on my big head.

By definition, fixed costs are costs that do not change with the level of production. In your question they will be $300,000 whatever level of production.
And yes, it happens in real life a lot. Suppose a company rents their factory at a cost of $300,000 a year. The amount payable doesn’t change with the number of units that they produce.
(The free Paper F2 lecture on cost classification and behaviour will help you)

Why the absortion rate has based on 15,000 units instead of 30,000 ???
