Sample Assessment 1 - Task 1.5 (b)

Hi

I am struggling to find the answer to "variable production overhead" in this question. I understand that it is worked out of the total labour hours but am unable to find the unit price??

    Hi
    The variable overhead relates to labour hours.
    You have to work out the amount of labour hours from annual data 246,000 units x 10 mins = 2,460,000/ 60 to make it in hours = 41,000 hours of labour time annually.
    Annual variable overhead £95,940 / 41,000 hours = 2.34 per hour Overhead rate.
    21,000 units x 10 mins = 210,000 / 60 to make it hours = 3500 hours in April * £2.34 per hour = £8,190 Overheads for April.
