profit = selling price - (cost of buying + overheads)
Non production overheads are costs associated with the workings of a company. These costs do not go directly into making the item. For example, electricity or office space are non production overheads.
The items which are included in direct overheads are the ones which are directly related to production process like salaries of machine operators and buying raw materials. The ones that are included in indirect overheads do not relate to production like giving to charity among others.
Variable overhead cost variance is that variance which is in variable overheads costs between the standard cost and the actual variable cost WHILE fixed overheads cost variance is variance between standard fixed overhead cost and actual fixed overhead cost.
yes.
Over or Under AbsorptionNote that as long as planned level of activity and the actual level of activity is not the same there is always an Over or Under Absorption situationThis is because overhead absorption rate is set at the start of the period based upon an expected level of production and that during the period, the level of output and or overheads will be different from the planned overheads and or output.OVER-absorption occurs when the total overhead recovered or absorbed is GREATER than the actual level of overheads for the period.UNDER-absorption occurs when the total overheads recovered or absorbed is LESS than the actual overheads incurred in the period.
If mean overheads as in options added. It can affect it by as much as 50% on some models the most notorious is VW.
Low overheads and diversity of products
marginal costing considers only direct) materials,labour,expenses and variable factory overheads excluding fixed factory overheads but absorption considers (direct) materials ,labour,expenses,variable and fixed factory overheads.

It is the wholesale price plus a share of the overheads.
