Value of machinery (in lakhs)     10                    5                      3                      1

Horse power of machines           1000                500                  400                  100

No of workers                              100                  50                    50                    25

Department A recovers overheads at a rate per labour hour. The labour hours in department

A is Rs.8000.

Department B recovers overheads at a rate per machine hour. Machine hours in department

B are 5000.

Calculate the cost of a job which requires Rs.2000 in material, Rs.1500 in wages.

The labour hours for the job in Department A is 20 and the machine hours for the job in Department

B is 10.
