Hi I need someone to explain to me the concept of Overheads and Absorption costing (Chapter 8 in the BPP MA2 textbook) I can’t seem to grasp anything from the textbooks i’m using,your help will be much appreciated
February 26, 2013 at 1:55 pm #118768MA2 is exactly the same as F2, it’s just you entered the ACCA via the mature entry route – high levels of maturity is expected!
When costing a product you have:
Direct Labour
Direct Materials
OverheadsOverheads are the indirect expenses incurred ie. not direct labour or materials.
Imagine you are standing in a shop: the light above your head is an overhead, the rent is an overhead, water rates, delivery charges, council tax etc. The list goes on, try and use your imagination, and think of all the indirect expenses.
Absorption costing is the process of absorbing all these overheads into the product or service you sell.
E.g Overheads this month are £1000
We think we will sell 100 units.
£1000/100 = £10 we will charge for each product to cover our overheads.There are a few different ways to absorb the overheads, such as per labour hour. You will have to study these.
