Absorption Costing and Price
"Absorption costing" or any other costing method cannot "determine... the price." The market always determines "the price." The only thing manufacturing cost can determine is whether or not an organization can manufacture an item at a cost low enough that, when sold at a price the market accepts, the price will cover truly variable costs plus operating expenses plus profit. If the result is "yes," then the item will continue to be manufactured by the organization in question. If the answer is "no," then the item will cease to be manufactured by the organization.
