A Level Accounting (9706)•9706/12/M/J/25
Question 25 from 9706/12/M/J/25

Explanation

Under-absorption equals actual overhead minus absorbed overhead, but calculation doesn't match options Steps:

  • Calculate absorbed overhead: absorption rate × actual machine hours = 15×8500=15 × 8500 = 15×8500=127500.
  • Under-absorption = actual overhead - absorbed overhead = $1950.
  • Actual overhead = absorbed overhead + under-absorption = 127500+127500 + 127500+1950 = $129450.
  • This value is not among the options, indicating ambiguity in how under-absorption is defined (e.g., volume-only vs. total variance) or possible error in problem data. Not enough information.

Why D is correct:

  • Cannot confirm; $14400 does not align with standard formula for actual overheads.

Why the others are wrong:

  • A: 103500=103500 = 103500=15 × 6900 hours, unrelated to given data.
  • B: 111000=111000 = 111000=15 × 7400 hours, unrelated to given data.
  • C: $19500 = 10 × under-absorption amount, possibly a miscalculation but not actual overheads.

Final answer: Not enough information.
