    Sir,
    Although I have watched lectures attentively but
    In example 1 (pg 33) We absorbed overheads using units since there was only one product
    In Example 2 We absorbed using labour per hours $ basis..

    So will there be questions asking to absorb cost using materials per kg $ basis?

    And if there would be question like that can you please give me examples of overheads associated with Materials..

    I am clear with overheads associated with labour i.e repair maintenance staff, supervisors, Factory Cleaning
    But I am confused with materials overheads

    You could be asked to calculate an absorption rate on any basis, included using materials.

    An example of an overhead for which materials would be a suitable basis would be the costs involved in the department that issues the materials for production from the stores.
