Question 5 (22 marks; 39.6 minutes) A company produces several products which pass through the two production departments in its factory These two departments are concerned with filling and sealing operations. There are two service departments, maintenance and canteen, in the factory. Predetermined overhead absorption rates, based on direct labour hours, are established for the two production departments. The budgeted expenditure for these departments for the period just ended, including the apportionment of service department overheads, was R110,040 for filling and R53,300 for sealing. Budgeted direct labour hours were 13,100 for filling and 10,250 for sealing. Service department overheads are apportioned as follows: During the period just ended, actual overhead costs and activity were as follows: Required: 5.1 Allocate the service department costs to the production departments using the simultaneous equations method. (14) 5.2 Calculate the overhead absorbed in the period. (4) 5.3 Calculate the extent of the under-l over-recovery of overheads in each of the two production departments.
