Kit question 99July 5, 2014 at 4:56 pm #178210I have no idea which kit you are talking about.
Also you have not said where your problem is!!Overheads are absorbed on the basis of material cost.
So…for department S, total overheads are $60,000; total material cost is 120,000kg x $4 = $480,000. (I am assuming that the material used is in kg – you have not typed the units. If it is in $’s then it does not need multiplying by $4)
So, the absorption rate for department S is 60/480 = $0.125 per $ of material.
In the same way, you can calculate the absorption rate for department T.To get the cost per unit, for S overheads it will be $0.125 x 12 = $1.50
You can do the same for the work done in T and add the two together. - AuthorPosts
