    The fixed overhead absorption rate is $8 per direct labour hour.

    The labour budget for this year is

    – skilled production $360,000
    – unskilled production $180,000
    – factory supervision $120,000

    Skilled production workers are paid $4 per hour, unskilled workers are paid $3 per hour and supervisors are paid $6 per hour.
    What is the budgeted fixed overhead for the year?

    here why factory supervision is not taken in to calculation why and explain
    ans:
    Number of labour hours = ?360 ,000 /4 + 1 80 ,000 / 3? = 150,000

    Therefore this year’s overheads = 150,000 × $8 = $1,200,000

    The absorbed fixed overhead cost is indeed $1,200,000 and the workings for that are correct.

    The overheads are absorbed based on the production hours worked.
