    Budget fix overheads – $ 216 000
    Budget labour hours – 144 000
    Actual fixed overheads – $235 200
    Over absorption fixed overheads – $16 800
    How many labour hours were actually worked.

    1) 216000/144000= 1.5
    2) 235200/1.5= 156800
    3) 16800/1.5= 11200
    11200 + 156800 = 168000 hours ?

    Why we should add 11200 instead of subtract ? We over- absorbed, doesn’t it mean that we need subtract this hours , because it over- absorbed hours ?

    Best regards , Tod

    o.a.r x actual hours= absorbed hour
    1.5 x (unknown)= 235200+16800=252000
    actual overhead= 235200
    therefore inorder to get your answer divide 252000/1.5=168000

    hope this helps
