    MA2 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
    Overheads

    Overheads 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.
