    Kindly Help me sir , i am getting $62,000
    Adding all the Staff = 250. dividing S ( 25000/250 ) =100*120= 12000+50,000 = 62,000
    Where i am doing a mistake ?

    A factory consists of two production cost centres – P and Q – and a canteen S.

    The total allocated and apportioned overhead for each is as follows:

    P= $50,000
    Q= 62,000
    S= 25000

    The canteen overhead is to be reapportioned to the production centres on the basis of the number of staff employed.

    The number of staff in each centre is as follows:

    p=120
    Q=80
    S=50

    After the reapportionment of the canteen costs, what is the total overhead for production centre P?

    You are recharging the canteen (S) to the production centres P and Q.

    In total there are 200 staff in the production centres and so the cost of S will be apportioned 120/200 to P and 80/200 to Q.
