    Manufacturing ovrheads:
    Indirect Materials (300,000 - 280,000) 20,000
    Indirect labour 80,000
    Other expenses 124,000
    Total 224,000

    Overhead absorption rate: 224,000/320,000 = 70%

    Cost of finished goods inventory 176,000
    Materials cost (40,000)
    Conversion costs 136,000

    Since conversion costs are 100 for labour and 70 for overheads thus totalling to 170, therefore The labour costs will be 136,000/170 x 100 = 80,000 and overheads will be 56,000.
