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?
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

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

John Moffat says
It is – all the departments are in the factory otherwise there would be no point in the whole question!!!!
Emily says
sir I don’t understand how you got 39$
John Moffat says
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.
