Sagot :

Answer:

a. Monthly Factory Overhead Cost Budget Fabrication Department

Direct Labor Hours                        9,000          10,000       11,000

Variable Factory Overhead          $40,500    $45,000    $49,500

Cost at $4.50 per hour

Fixed Factory Overhead Costs    $60,000    $60,000    $60,000

Total Factory Overheads             $100,500  $105,000  $109,500

b. Normal Production = 10,000 Units

Total Factory Overheads = $105,000

Factory Overhead Cost per unit = $105,000 / 10,000 Units

Factory Overhead Cost per unit = $10.5 per unit

Factory Overhead Cost absorbed when 9,000 hours used in the department:

= 9,000 Hours * $10.5 per Unit

= $94,500
