It has a board of directors comprising: a sales/marketing director, a production director, a purchase director, and a HR/IT director. They do not at present have a finance director, this role being undertaken by the managing director of the company.

He asks you to prepare a presentation for his board outlining the following:
– What is the basis of absorption and activity based costing?
