    Sam is an assembly worker earning $12 per hour for a basic 35-hour week. Any overtime is paid at a premium of 50%.

    In the last 4-week period Sam was paid for 150 hours, during this time 15 hour were classed as idle due to a machine breaking down. Also included in the number of hours are 4-hours’ overtime spent working for an urgent job at the request of the customer.

    How much should be charged to the production overhead account for the 4-week period?

    why the ans is 15*12+(10-4)*6=$216

    What about the charge of 15*140 and 4*6? It charges to direct labour expenses?

    Yes – ‘normal’ hours and overtime worked at customers request are direct labour.

    The normal week is 35 hours, which is 140 hours a month.

    150 – 140 = 10 hours
