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
