    I have got a doubt in the same question. Component 2 section. In arriving at cost per unit they have multiplied .25 *5 * (100/98) I understand they are taking into account of waste. But why multiply the wasted material. I dont get the logic

    We have to adjust for under or over absorption in the absorption costing profit statement. I dont understand why they have to include Absorbed OH in the Cost of Sales again even after they have adjusted for Under absorption. Its effectively double counting right ?

    How do you decide if a subsidiary is material to group ? For account balances and transactions we use benchmarks. What about subsidiary as a whole ?
