Product Absorption Rate Formula

Product Absorption Rate Formula

An absorption rate is calculated on the bases of number of unit produced is known as Product absorption rate or absorption rate based on Product. This absorption rate may be calculated by dividing production overheads with total number of units produced (units of different product).

Absorption Rate (Labour Hr) = Production Overhead/Total Products

Product Absorption Rate Formula Example

Total overhead expenditure is $ 300,000 for two products (A, B). Total production of both products is (50,000 units). Calculate Product Absorption Rate

Solution

Absorption Rate (Labour Hr) = Production overhead/Total units Produced

= $ 300,000 (production overhead)/ 50,000 Total Products
= $ 300,000/ 50,000
= $ 6 (product absorption Rate)
