To whom it may concern,
The following question requires your kind attention.A cost centre is charged with the following actual overhead costs for a period:
Allocated costs: $ 28720
Apportioned costs: $10260Overheads were absorbed in the cost centre over the period on 1760 actual labour hours at a predetermined absorption rate of $ 21.50 per hour. Actual labour hours worked in the period were 90 hours above budget. What was the over/under absorption in the cost centre?
Your help is very much appreciated.
