The overheads of service cost centre S2 are apportioned on the basis of the number of employees in the other cost centres. 10 Draw up a suitable columnar form and, using appropriate bases, distribute the budgeted overhead costs over the cost centres. Apportion the accumulated costs of the two service centres over the three production centres, again using suitable bases. Calculate an overhead absorption rate for each of the three production cost centres. Question 2 Seng Fatt Sdn.

Question 3 Metal Components Bhd. supplies non-standard metal machine parts to customers' drawings specifications. The factory comprises the following production departments: Heavy machine (code HM) Light machine (code LM) Finishing (code F) Direct materials and wages are charged to jobs whilst production overhead is added by applying a fixed percentage on direct wages cost (based on the annual budget), one "blanket" or "overall" rate being used for all factory production. Consideration is being given to a suggestion that the application of separate departmental rates, based on budgeted working hours, would result in more accurate job costs. The following data appear in the budget for the current year: Departmen Manual hours HM LM F Direct wages (RM) 102,000 40,000 8,000 HM LM F Machine hours Actual figures for the month of May were: Department Direct Machine hours wages (RM) 8,000 3,000 1,000 25,000 10,000 2,000 800 2,000 Manual hours 250 Production overhead (RM) 150,000 26,000 4,000 Production overhead (RM) 12,500 1,950 550 Job No.782 commenced and finished during May and the following details were recorded: Departmen Direct Direct Machine Manual t (a) (b) (c) HM LM F Required: materials (RM) 520 wages (RM) 160 200 40 hours 40 50 hours 10 Calculate the current "blanket" absorption rate.
