Can any one help me …..
A manufacturer absorbs production overheads into the cost of jobs as a percentage of actual direct labour cost. Two jobs were worked on during a period:
Job 1 ($)
Job 2 ($)
Opening work-in-progress
5,269
–
Direct materials in the period
10,726
4,652
Direct labour in the period
4,360
2,940Production overheads of $9,855 were incurred in the period. Job 2 was completed in the period.
What is the value of work-in-progress at the end of the period?
___________________________________________________________________________________________The following indirect costs were incurred in a factory in a period:
Rental of premises
$80,000
Utilities
$25,000There are two cost centres, A and B, in the factory which between them occupy the 20,000 square metres (sq m) of floor space (cost centre A, 8,000 sq m; cost centre B, 12,000 sq m).
What is the total indirect cost apportioned to cost centre B in the period if floor space is used as the basis of apportionment?
____________________________________________________________________________________________Production labour costs incurred during a period included the following items:$
Salary of factory manager
2,400
Training of direct workers
1,660
Normal idle time
840
Overtime premiums of direct workers
2,760
Overtime hours of direct workers at basic rate
9,200
What total amount would usually be charged to production overhead for the above items?___________________________________________________________________________________________25,000 units of a company’s single product are produced in a period during which 28,000 units are sold. Opening inventory was 7,000 units. Unit costs of the product are:
$ per unit
Direct costs
16.20
Fixed production overhead
7.60
Fixed non-production overhead
2.90If any one helped their help will be appreciated
November 11, 2014 at 8:54 am #209004First question:
Only Job 1 will still be in progress at the end of the period.
The value of the work in progress will be the total amount spent, which is 5269 + 10726 + 4360 + a proportion of the overheads.
Since the overheads are to be absorbed on the basis of the labour cost, the amount to be charged to job 1 will be (4360/(4360 + 2940)) x 9855
November 11, 2014 at 9:00 am #209006Second question:
Have you watched the free lectures on allocation and apportionment of overheads? It would seem not, because this is a very easy question. I do suggest you watch the lecture!!
Since B is 12,000 sq m out of a total of 20,000, you apportion 12,000/20,000 of the costs to centre B.
November 11, 2014 at 9:02 am #209008Third question:
Charged to overheads will be the indirect costs, which are the salary of the factory manager; the training; the idle time, and the overtime premiums.

There is no question, so I cannot help you 🙂
