Direct labour cost (50 hrs x $15 x 50 units)     37,500

Overhead applied (50 hrs x $4 x 50 units)       10,000

  Budgeted direct labour hours

= $80,000

  20,000 hrs

= $4 per direct labour hour

Explanation:

The total cost of the job is the aggregate of direct material cost, direct labour cost and overhead. Overhead is absorbed based on direct labour hours. We need to calculate overhead absorption rate by dividing the budgeted overhead by budgeted direct labour hours. The overhead absorption rate is used to multiply the direct labour hours of the job in order to obtain the overhead applied to the job.
