In yesterdays exam I found the absorption costing question quite differnt to last years. I have 2 concerns:<BR><BR>What were we supposed to use the number of employees information for because the Indirect Staff costs were allready allocated to each cost centre??<BR><BR>Also were we supposed to apportion the Direct Assembly Costs to the various cost centres or just to the Assembly one??<BR><BR>Cheers!

    the "number of employees" was a red herring. Think they were trying to keep us on our toes
