Other overheads are absorbed on the basis of labour hours. The total labour hours for Product P are 2,400 x 8 = 19,200, and for Q are 9,600 x 10 = 96,000. So the total = 19,200 + 96,000 = 115,200. 9,600 is the number of units of Q that are produced and is given in the question. I do suggest that you watch our free lecture - they are a complete course for Paper F5 and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well. My ABC lecture works through a very similar example to the question that you are asking about. You certainly should not attempt the practice tests without having watched the lecture first.
