COSTING A HOSPITAL SERVICE PRODUCT: MARGINAL Vs ABSORPTION COSTING
1Commanding Officer, 305 Field Ambulance, C/o 99 APO.
Abstract:
Costing a service product is a challenging but important tool for cost control. Different methods used for costing may provide varying costs and the choice of the method used becomes important. Use of absorption costing and marginal costing method and treatment of labour cost as variable and fixed cost provided different results in the present study of the cost of below knee patellar tendon bearing prosthesis. The study shows that marginal costing should also be done along with the absorption cost as it provides better indicator for cost control.

Parameters Affecting Nonlinear Elimination: Zero-Order Input, First-Order Absorption and Two-Compartment Model
When a drug is administered through a constant intravenous infusion and eliminated via nonlinear pharmacokinetics, it follows zero-order input. For example, oral drugs undergo first-order absorption upon administration and are eliminated through nonlinear pharmacokinetics.
In the case of subcutaneously administered drugs,...
