    Hi. I am having an issue in determining the cost to be absorbed. This is from the CBE mock exam and no workings are available.

    A business operates a job costing system and has the aim of making a net profit of 30% of net sales. Cost estimates for one particular job are as follows:

    Direct materials 80 Kg at $5 per kg
    Direct Labour: 40 hours at $6 per hour
    The total overheads are budgeted at $120,000 and are absorbed on the basis of direct labour hours. The budgeted labour hours are 50,000.

    What price should be quoted for this job (to the nearest $)?

    The overhead absorption rate must be 120,000 / 50,000 = $2.40 per labour hour.

    The costs are therefore:
    Materials 80 x $5 = 400; Labour 40 x $6 = 240; Overheads 40 x $2.40 = $96

    Total = 400 + 240 + 96 = 736

    Therefore selling price = 100/70 x 736 = $1,051
