Respuesta :

Answer:

$404,000

Explanation:

Overheads includes all indirect cost incurred to product the units to be sold. Indirect costs are those costs which are not directly traceable / attributable to the product. These cost are variable and fixed.

Time for each unit = 30 minutes = 0.5 hours

Budgeted production in November = Closing Inventory + Sales in November - Opening Inventory.

Budgeted production in November = (180,000 x 10% ) + 135,000 - 14,000 = 139,000

Budgeted production overhead Included all the variable and fixed overheads incurred to produce the budgeted production.

Variable overhead = 139,000 x 5 X 0.5 = $347,500

Total budgeted Overhead = $347,500 + $56,500 = $404,000
