Solution

To find the amount of fixed production overheads the company incurred for April 20X8, we first need to understand what over-absorption means. Over-absorption occurs when the absorbed overheads are more than the actual overheads.

Given that the company over-absorbed fixed production overheads by 5,000,thismeansthattheabsorbedoverheadswere5,000, this means that the absorbed overheads were 5,000 more than the actual overheads.

The absorption rate was 7perunit,andtheactualproductionwas4,500units.Therefore,theabsorbedoverheadswere7 per unit, and the actual production was 4,500 units. Therefore, the absorbed overheads were 7 * 4,500 = $31,500.

Since the absorbed overheads were 5,000morethantheactualoverheads,thismeansthattheactualoverheadswere5,000 more than the actual overheads, this means that the actual overheads were 31,500 - 5,000=5,000 = 26,500.

So, the company incurred $26,500 in fixed production overheads for April 20X8.
