Solution

First, we need to calculate the overhead absorption rate. This is done by dividing the budgeted overheads by the budgeted direct labour hours.

So, 60,000/30,000hours=60,000 / 30,000 hours = 2 per hour.

Next, we need to calculate the actual overhead absorbed. This is done by multiplying the overhead absorption rate by the actual direct labour hours.

So, 2perhour35,000hours=2 per hour * 35,000 hours = 70,000.

Now, we can calculate the amount of overhead over-absorbed or under-absorbed by subtracting the actual overheads from the actual overhead absorbed.

So, 70,00070,000 - 66,000 = $4,000.

Therefore, the overhead is over-absorbed by 4,000.So,theanswerisA4,000. So, the answer is A 4000 over.
