    Hi sir, I hope you are well. I am bit confused when calculating absorption rate based on labour hours. Do we only take budgeted overheads allocated or apportioned? Or do we add them both and devide them by budgeted level of activity.
    For example (random figures)
    Allocated : £25,800
    Apportioned: £16200
    Budgeted activity: 3000 hours

    Many thanks

    You take the total overheads whether they are allocated or apportioned.

    Have you watched my free lectures on this? The lectures are a complete free course for Paper MA and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
