    Hello Sir John! Greetings to you!
    When apportioning factory heat to packing dept you recommended rounding $1562.5 to its nearest dollar i.e. $1563 but when doing the same for canteen dept you didn’t round $312.5 to $313 but wrote it as $312. I didn’t quite get it! Could you please explain it to me?

      When it is 0.5 it doesn’t matter whether you round up or down. Nobody worries in real life (or in the exam) about $0.50 馃檪

      (And anyway, when we come to calculate the overheads per unit, which we always round to the nearest cent, it does not affect the answer at all.)

    Hi, for the depreciation costs why is it 3/7, 3/7 and 1/7?

      Because the value of the machines is 300,000; 300,000; and 100,000, which is 700,000 in total.

      Hi John
      why do we need to include service overheads into production?
      why can’t we list it Independently ?

        Because the ultimate purpose is to get the cost of units produced, and the service departments do not produce anything.

    Hello.
    Why did you take 90 for welfare costs?
    And it is not 50+40+10?
    Please explain me. I’m confused.

      It is – all the departments are in the factory otherwise there would be no point in the whole question!!!!

        sir I don’t understand how you got 39$

      • John Moffat says

        July 7, 2015 at 8:21 am

        I assume you mean the cost of a desk in example 3 ?!!!

        Materials are $12 per unit. Labour is 4 hours x $2 = $8 per unit.
        Assembly overheads are 3 hours x $3 = $9 per unit.
        Finishing overheads are 1 hour x 拢10 = $10 per unit.

        Total = 12 + 8 + 9 + 10 = $39

        (You can see answers to all of the examples at the end of the Lecture Notes)
