Well is not the expression, $A=epsilonbc$ ?

Explanation:

Where $A="absorbance"$ , a dimensionless quantity......

And $epsilon="molar extinction coefficient"$

And $b="path length of cell"$

And $c="concentration........."$

Given that $b$ and $c$ have units of $cm$ , and $mol*L^-1$ , should not $epsilon$ have units of $cm^-1*L*mol^-1$ . And thus as concentration grows, absorbance should increase proportionally up to a point........
