Jobex Co uses job costing. Production costs, including absorbed overhead, of $4,917 have been incurred to date on Job ABC. A further $1,735 of direct costs, including the cost of 82 direct labor hours, are expected to be required to complete the job. Production overheads are absorbed at a rate of $9 per direct labor hours.
I have solved this question as taking 4917+82x9+1735=7390
is this the right way to calculate?
or should i first absorb overheads by dividing 4917 by 82 then multiplying by 9?
