    Hi

    I am working through Robust Laptops and confused how they got the overhead absorption rate of 14,190,000/ (23800 x 3) = £596.22

    I know the 14,190,000 is total overheads, and 23400 is total units that take 3 hours to produce but how have they got £596.22?

    I got the answer correct using total costs of (60,837,000/23800) + mark up. But confused how they have done it.

    Thank you
    Jemma

    Total fixed costs = 14,190,000
    Total output = 23,800

    14,190,000596./23,800 = 596.22

    It’s just total fixed costs spread over output.

    14190/23800*3=198.7 this represent absorp rate pr labour hr. So 1 unit take 3 hrs to produce yu need to multiply 198.7 by 3.yu will get the ans

    its 14190000/71400. thats the aor. 1 unit takes 3 hours. 3 multiply by 198.7 and theres your answer. However you shouldnt focus on such small details at this level as itll only get u half a mark or 1. focus on the more strategic bits of the question.
