Reciprocal Method Stores MaintenanceMachining Assembly Finishing Total
Stores % 0.00% 10.00% 40.00% 30.00% 20.00% 100.00%
Maintenance % 5.00% 0.00% 55.00% 20.00% 20.00% 100.00%
Overhead costs 1,000 800 6,000 2,500 1,500 11,800
Let cost of Stores is KX and Maintenance is $ Y
So, X= 1000+ 5% of Y
So, X= 1000+ 0.05Y
Y= 800+ 10% of X
Y= 800+ 0.10X
Substituting the value of X in equation 2:
Y = 800 + 0.10(1000 + 0.05Y)
Y = 800 + 100+.005Y
Y – 0.005Y = 800+100
0.995Y = 900
Y = 900/0.995
Y = K905
Substituting the value of Y in equation 1:
So, X= 1000+ 0.05Y

So, X= 1000+ 0.05*905
So, X= 1000+ 45
X= K1,045

QUESTION FOUR
(a) Percentage of direct labour cost method = (K600 000 / K200 000) x 100
= 300% of direct labour cost
Direct labour hour method = (K600 000/40 000 direct labour hours)
= K15 per direct labour hour
Machine hour method = (K600 000/50 000 machine hour)
= K12 per machine hour
(B) The question states that the company has become machine-intensive and implies that in the long term there is a
closer association between overhead expenditure and machine hours than the other two methods. Therefore the best
measure of overhead resources consumed by jobs or products is machine hours.

(C) Job Ax (K)
Direct material 3788
Direct labour 1100
Direct expenses 422
Prime cost 5310
Production overhead (120 machine hours K12) 1440
Factory cost 6750
Administrative overheads (20% K6750) 1350
Total cost 8100
Profit (K8100/0.90 K8100) 900
Selling price 9000
Workings
Administration overhead absorption rate = Total admin. Overheads/total factory cost
= K328 000 / K1 640 000
= 20% of factory cost

QUESTION FIVE
Step 1
Process costing is a method of costing whereby products go through various manufacturing levels and individual costs need to be
calculated. Here, it is assumed that every process is an independent unit, and the output of one is considered as input for another.
Step 2
Primary process A/c
Particulars Units Cost Particulars Unit Cost
