CIMA P1 Question Answer
A company currently uses a rate of $32 per machine hour to absorb its total production overheads of $960,000.
Using this system the production overhead cost per unit of product X is $160.
An activity based costing exercise has revealed that only $345,000 of the production overhead is driven by machine hours. The remainder is driven by the number of machine set ups, at a rate of $9.60 per set up.
Product X requires 3 set ups per unit.
