Absorption Costing (also known as traditional costing approach or full costing) absorbs all costs incurred to produce goods, which can result in misleading product cost information for decision-making. In absorption costing, fixed overheads are considered as product cost. These are added in the cost of inventory and not shown as separate item (period cost) in the income statement. The full cost includes cost of direct materials, direct labor, variable manufacturing overheads and fixed overheads. The absorption costing focuses only on total cost viz. variable and fixed and it is not useful for managers to take decision, plan about future and exercise control. The cost volume profit relationship is ignored because it takes into account the total cost. Absorption costing is suitable only in those companies where equal number of units are produced and sold. However, a business operates in a dynamic environment and production and sales keep on fluctuating on a regular basis. Therefore, as absorption costing is used in such a scenario, the cost will keep on fluctuating...
VARIABLE COSTING VERSUS ABSORPTION COSTINGAbsorption costing applies all manufacturing overhead to production costs while they flow through Work-in-Process Inventory, Finished-Goods Inventory and expenses on the income statement while Variable Costing only applies variable manufacturing overhead.Fixed manufacturing overhead is expensed immediately as it is incurred under variable costing while it is inventoried until the accounting period during which the manufactured goods are sold under absorption costing.
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.
Managers will use this because it separates the fixed from the variable costs. It helps them make short term decisions better by not looking at long term fixed costs which can not be easily changed.
Absorption costing does not understand the importance of fixed costs. In absortption costing, fixed costs are absorbed to unit, therefore it is hard to distinguish between variable and fixed costs. And also, the variability of profit will cause confusion, the reason is that the net profit varies with both sales and stock changed under absorption costing.

The first variable that is used to classify stars is its ionization state which can measure the photosphere's temperature and density. This information is gathered by splitting the light from a star with a prism and observing the resulting spectrum that includes absorption lines. Luminosity is another variable used; it is based on the width of absorption lines.
The light absorption is dependent on the measurement of the red, blue, green and yellow light ( which is the independent variable ).

"absorbance"Since in the experiment, you probably choose the wavelength, then measure the absorbance (absorption?, the absorbance is the dependent variable.
For dependent and independent variable, remember DRY MIX:D - dependent variableR - response you are recording in your notebookY - graphed on the Y-axisM - the thing manipulated by the scientistI - independent variableX - graphed on the X-axisSo for absorption of hear by color:the dependent variable is the absorption of heat: that's the response you are recording and when you graph it, this value goes on the Y-axis.the independent variable is the color: that's the thing you manipulated and when you graph it, this value goes on the X-axis.
is quantity or item controlled by the decision maker.

Information on standard variable rates can be located by visiting websites such as Money Facts and This is Money. Information on standard variable rates can also be obtained by visiting one's local bank and inquiring about them.
