    Amount of overheads to be applied to production = $264,475

    Explanation:

    Absorption costing

    Absorption costing is method of costing where overheads are charged to units produced using volume-based bases. e. g mahine hours, labour hours e. t. c.

    Under this costings system, inventory and completed units are valued using full cost.

    Full cost = D. Mat. + D. Lab. + Variable Prod. OH + Fixed Prod. Oh

    Step 1: Calculate the overheard absorption rate (OAR) /

    Fixed Prod OH (FPOH)

    = Budgeted overheads for the period / Budgeted machine hours

    = $284,590 / 19,100 hours

    =$ 14.9 per machine hour

    Step 2: Calculate the absorbed overheads

    Absorbed overheads = OAR * Actual machine hours

    = $264,475

    Amount of overheads to be applied to production = $264,475
