Cn any1 give standard format for absorption costing... because different questions in past papers regarding this topic, da MS haz solved it wit varying format/

Statement of total cost (Absorption) :

Direct Materials                                                                                                                                                                
Direct Wages(labour)                                                                  
Direct expenses                                                                    

Prime Cost

Factory overheads costs all fixed and variable > Indirect labour
                                                              > Indirect Materials
                                                              > Depreciation (factory)
                                                              > Other indirect expenses
                                                                (Including rent of factory, heat & light)

Total cost of production

Office overhead costs > Selling expenses (all fixed)
                              > Administrative expenses

Total costs

This is how it is in my notes.

hey guys got a question In the ratio chapter are the gearing ratios in syllabus of 2010 in a AS level.

They say it is not there in the syllabus but you may find it in paper 1 I think. Just in case do know it, it is not hard.

{Fixed cost capital}/{total capital}  x  100 =  {Loan+preference shares}/{laon+pref+ord.shares+reserves} x 100 = xxx%

Revise each topic and make sure you know the format very well, then keep practicing pastpapers. That's all and you will get a good grade.

Thanks Mony

da variable cost includes direct material & labour cost.It shud b calculated on da current years production.
Dat is Sales+Cl stock-Op stock
den da constant fixed cost is added
As this is absorption costing da unit price wen calculating Op/Cl stock will include fixed cost.

==Der is a another method 2 calculate & solve this using over/under absorption,which haz different format.
Life is short...so live it to da fullest :)

Questions . It was hard pls help. :'( :'(

Q1) cost of material as per flex budget =7.5*2*620=9300
       material price variance=flex-actual
                                     =9300-9400=$100(A)

Q2)inflow for investment=(0.91+0.83+0.75)*2000000
                                 =4980000 (same as ur ans)
     investment recovered =500000*0.75=375000
       present value=4980000+375000=5.355m

3)half of stock =$500000
   As 4 each $100 v get 3 shares, so  500000/100*3=15000 shares

Life is short...so live it to da fullest :)
