Chapter 9
Example 4
ABC has determined that their production budget for product X next year will
be 10,500 units and this will require 15,750 hours of labour time. ABC have
estimated that their variable overheads will be $2 per labour hour and fixed
overheads will be $50,000 for the year.
Calculate the budgeted overhead cost.
Solution
Variable overheads= labour hours × standard rate per labour hour
Variable overheads = 15,750 hours × $2/hour = $31,500
Fixed overheads = $50,000 (provided above)
Total overheads budget = variable overheads + fixed overheads
Total overheads budget = $31,500 + $50,000 = $81,500
