Overhead absorption rate = overhead per labour hour
Total overheads = £240,000 + £360,000 = £600,000
Total labour hours = 60,000
Overhead per labour hour = 600,000/60,000 = £10
Part (c)
Absorption costing:
Total cost per unit = material + labour + overhead
Product Eff:
Material £10
Labour £40
Overhead £20 (from your answer)
Total cost per unit = 10 + 40 + 20 = £70
Product Gee:
Material £15
Labour £25
Overhead £12.50 (from your answer)
Total cost per unit = 15 + 25 + 12.50 = £52.50
Activity based costing:
Total cost per unit = material + labour + set up + material handling
Product Eff:
Material £10
Labour £40
Set up £3.20
Material handling £9.60
Total cost per unit = 10 + 40 + 3.20 + 9.60 = £62.80
Product Gee:
Material £15
Labour £25
Set up £20
Material handling £15
Total cost per unit = 15 + 25 + 20 + 15 = £751

Hiya
Quick question, how did you find budgeted labour hours (60,000 hours) in this question, Part b?
Everything else makes sense, but this one I couldn't work out.0 -
Eff
Hours per unit 2 (40/20)
Budgeted Units 25,000
Gee
Hours per unit 1.25 (25/20)
Budgeted units 8,000
2*25000 + 1.25 * 8000 = 50,000 + 10,000 = 60,000AAT Level 4, MAAT
