Answer #1

Option A is correct

direct material =166000

direct labour = 128000

fixed over heads = 10300

value of excess hours of production = 143325

total budget for the department = 447625

Working Notes :

calculation of value for  Actual hours

Rate per hour = (direct materials + direct labour) / budgeted hours

= (128000 + 166000) / 8000

= 294000 / 8000

= 36.75

value of excess hours of production using rate per hour = (11900 - 8000) * 36.75

= 143325

Thank you so much
