Give a brief account on absorption costing.

To keep track of all costs associated with creating a certain product, "absorption costing," also known as "full costing," is a managerial accounting technique. This plan includes for all costs, direct and indirect, including rent, insurance, direct materials, and direct labor.

The cost base for absorption costing includes everything that is a direct cost of producing a good. Under absorption costing, fixed overhead costs are also included in the product costs. A few expenses associated to product manufacturing include wages paid to employees who physically make a product, raw materials needed for production, and all overhead costs (such as all power bills spent during production).

To solve the question :

Given,

Estimated direct labor-hours = 42000 hours

Estimated manufacturing overhead = $210000.

Actual Hours Worked =  42800 hours

Actual Overhead =  $226800

Budgeted Manufacturing Overhead rate

= total estimated manufacturing overhead / estimated direct labor-hours

= $210000 / 42000 hours

= $ 5 per hr

Actual Hours Worked =  42800 hours

Applied Overhead =  Actual Hours Worked  / Budgeted Manufacturing Overhead rate

= 42800 hours x $ 5 = $214000

Actual Overhead =  $226800

Overhead = Actual overhead - Applied Overhead

= $226800 - $214000

= $12800

Hence, Overhead applied to jobs by Cribb corporation is $12800.
