Allocated and apportioned fixed overhead costs:Primary=$96000
Finishing=$82500Direct labour minute per unit:
-Product x:Primary=36
Finishing=25-Product y: Primary=48
Finishing=35Budgeted production:x=6000 units
y=7500 unitsFixed overhead costs are absorbed on a direct labour hour basis.
What is the budgeted fixed overhead cost per unit for product y?
A.$11
B.$12
C.$14
D.$15The answer in the revision kit is D; however the workings done is a bit too
complicated. Could you please make it simple for me?
Thanks.June 7, 2016 at 3:13 pm #320361You must watch the free lectures.
I work through a very similar example in my lectures, and I am not going to type it all out here!
June 7, 2016 at 3:26 pm #320378ok sir, I will watch your lectures. By the way which example precisely is similar?
June 7, 2016 at 3:46 pm #320399You need to watch all of the lectures that go with chapter in the lecture notes on overheads (because it builds it up with several examples – you need to understand what is happening, because the exam deliberately checks that you understand rather than just learning rules).
I really do suggest that you watch all of the lectures in order because they are a complete free course for Paper f2 and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
