Respuesta :

Answer:

A. True

Explanation:

The overheads are absorbed either by using an overall overhead rate or using ABC costing when there are two or more products. It is a company's policy decision to use either of the two methods for overhead absorption.

The formula for calculating the Overhead Absorption Rate (OAR) is,

OAR = Budgeted Overheads / Budgeted Activity Level

Here, we have budgeted overheads as $1200000 while the budgeted activity over which overheads will be absorbed is Machine Hours.

OAR = 1200000 / 100000 = $12 / Machine Hour so the Answer is True
