ABSORBED
In business, generally, this is the cost that is "absorbed" by the company as an expense of production instead of passing it on to the consumers therefore adding to the price.
However in underwriting, the term absorbed means that an issue is already completely sold to the interested public.
In mergers, the term absorbed means that an acquired firm is completely folded into the management of the acquiring company.
