Dream Limited is engaged in the production of olive oil. Subtotals of the budgeted overheads for the first six months of the 20X6 financial year (January to June 20X6) revealed the following:

                             Harvesting              Pressing               General factory overhead

Variable overhead (R ) 2,970,000            5,350,000                   1,760,000

Fixed overhead (R )   500,000                1,600,000                    1,900,000

Budgeted activity

Machine hours           140,000                   112,000

Normal capacity

Machine hours          200,000                  160,000

1. General factory variable overheads are apportioned in line with machine hours worked in each department and general factory fixed overhead are apportioned on the basis of the normal machine hour capacity of the two departments.

2. It has been a long-standing company practice to establish selling prices by applying a mark-up on cost of 45%. The direct material content is R20 per unit. Each unit of the product will take three labour hours (five machine hours) in the harvesting department and four labour hours (six machine hours) in the pressing department. Hourly labour rates are R25.00 and R26 respectively.

The following actual information relates to the 20X5 financial year:

                                                   January-June                        July-December

                                                                     20X5                                             20X5

Fixed selling and administration costs

(dependent on the number of units sold) R456,000                             R670,000

Distribution costs (Fixed and variable)

(dependent on number of units sold)  R1 342,800                               R1 057,100

Sales units                                       40,000                                        30,000

It is expected that the sales units during the first six months of the 20X6 year will be 40 000 units. Fixed selling and administration costs will not be incurred as from the 20X6 financial year. During the 20X6 financial year, the distribution costs is expected to be the same as last year's.
