a.
Plantwide overhead rate = 1,080,000 / 9,000 = $120 per machine hour
Per unit overhead allocated to Commercial = 120 x 8 = $960
Per unit overhead allocated to Residential = 120 x 4.5 = $540
b.
Departmental overhead rate in Assembly = 280,000 / 4,000 = $70 per machine hour
Departmental overhead rate in Testing = 800,000 / 5,000 = $160 per machine hour
Costs Allocated to Product using Department overhead rate:
Commercial |
Residential |
|
Assembly Department |
140 (2 x 70) |
210 (3 X 70) |
Testing Department |
960 (160 X6) |
240 (160 X 1.5) |
Total Costs |
$1,100 |
$450 |
c.
In this case, the management shall consider single plantwide factory overhead rate methods, because this method calculates cost very accurately taking into factor that overheads are evenly applied on basis of direct labor hours.
