S1 overheads are to be apportioned to production departments based on the value of raw
material issues. S2 and S3 overheads are to be apportioned to production departments
according to direct labor hours and machine hours respectively.
Prepare an overhead analysis sheet in columnar form using the reciprocal
method, calculating the overhead absorption rates for each machine hour and
each direct labor hour for each of the three production units. You should use bases of
apportionment and absorption which you consider most appropriate, and the bases
used should be clearly indicated in your statement.
