What is the meaning of absorption and example of it?

I'm assuming you are talking about Absorption costing which is essentially the opposite of Variable Costing. Absorption Costing: Where all costs (Direct and Indirect) related to producing (Not Selling & Admin) a product are distributed evenly into the cost of the goods. Lets say we only used $5 worth of materials and $2.50 worth of labour to make a doll. There is also $1000 worth of fixed expenses related to making the doll. Under Variable Costing: the cost of making a doll is only the variable costs. Hence, the cost of 1 doll is 5+2.50 = $7.50/doll Under Absorption costing: Lets say we made 100 dolls ($10/doll worth of Fixed costs). The total cost of a doll would therefore but 5 + 2.50 + 10 = $17.50/doll I guess you could say that it absorbs the ALL the costs of manufacturing.


How do you calculate absorption rate?

First, determine the number of homes closed in your market over a specific period - say, 12 months. You can get this data from the MLS.Next, divide the number of homes by the number of months in the period - in this case, 12. This calculation gives a per month absorption rate.Last, divide the rate into the number of current listings. This yields the months' supply of homes.


Does a course for basic accounting training cost much?

Well that depends on who is offering the accounting training cost and it also depends on what you consider to be much. It is a subjective question and from my perspective, I would say that general, they do not cost much but I am a multi-millionaire so it is all relevant.

What is the difference between direct unit cost and direct cost of sales?

Let's say that you are in the business of selling widgets. All the costs related to manufactureing, storing and selling one widget (referred to as a unit) would be the direct unit costs. Your direct cost of sales (also referred to as direct cost of goods or direct COGS) are all the costs related to the creation of your widgets. Your direct cost of sales may or may not be your total cost of sales. Usually this includes the cost of materials and direct labor costs, but excludes distribution and sales (the cost of getting your widgets to a retailer and get them sold).
