Question

The complete question is as follows:

Machining Assembly

Direct Labour 16,000 12,000

Direct labour cost 20,000 15,000

Machine hours 5,000 1,000

Overhead ($) 25,000 30,000

Answer

Machining Assembly

Overhead absorption rate = $5 per hour 200% of labour cost

Explanation:

Overhead absorption rate is used to charged overheads to output achieved. It is calculated as follows:

OAR = Budgeted overhead / Budgeted activity

Machining Assembly

Overhead absorption rate 25,000/5000 hrs 30,000/15000 * 100

= $5 per hour 200% of labour cost
