there was a question in the textbook and in that question it was given that overtime is paid at a time and a quarter. what does it mean? and how to we determine how much is paid from that. Also they have given the hours worked overtime.
THERE WAS A QUESTION I WAS UNABLE TO ANSWER BUDGETED OUTPUT IS 2400 UNITS BUDGETED HOURS IS 1920 HRS ACTUAL OUTPUT IS 1800 UNITS ACTUAL HOURS IS 1950 HRS CALCULATE THE LABOUR EFFICIENCY
However, the Text book has small part on making Labour Accounts (T-accounts) which I am weak in. Could that be explained as it comes even in the absorption costing chapter.

Im not sure if Im allowed to answer, but a time and a quarter means 100% + 25% of the normal hourly pay.

Sir, Thank You for your lecutures.

John Moffat says
Preparing accounts is very rarely tested in the exam and even if it is then it would only be for very few marks indeed.

Just how much of this portion of the syllabus is examined, out of interest?
Appreciate these lectures very much.
John Moffat says
Thank you for the comment.
Everything in the syllabus is examined, but there are unlikely to be more than 1 or 2 questions from this chapter.
1accountant says
In essence general overtime is treated as an indirect cost?
I had a question which asked to calculated direct and indirect cost and general over time was included in the direct cost, was this wrong ?
John Moffat says
The basic pay for the overtime is a direct cost. The overtime premium (the extra above the basic pay) is an indirect cost.
