Lansing, Inc., provided the following data for its two producing departments:
Molding | Polishing | Total | ||||
Estimated overhead | $425,000 | $100,000 | $525,000 | |||
Direct labor hours (expected and actual): | ||||||
Form A | 1,000 | 5,000 | 6,000 | |||
Form B | 4,000 | 15,000 | 19,000 | |||
Total | 5,000 | 20,000 | 25,000 | |||
Machine hours: | ||||||
Form A | 3,500 | 3,000 | 6,500 | |||
Form B | 1,500 | 2,000 | 3,500 | |||
Total | 5,000 | 5,000 | 10,000 |
Machine hours are used to assign the overhead of the Molding Department, and direct labor hours are used to assign the overhead of the Polishing Department. There are 20,000 units of Form A produced and sold and 50,000 of Form B.
Required:
1. Calculate the overhead rates for each department.
Molding | $ |
Polishing | $ |
2. Using departmental rates, assign overhead to the two products and calculate the overhead cost per unit. Round your answers to the nearest cent.
Unit Overhead Cost | |
Assigned unit overhead cost for Form A | $ |
Assigned unit overhead cost for Form B | $ |
How does this compare with the plantwide rate unit cost, using direct labor hours?
Relative to the plantwide rate, the cost
3. What if the machine hours in Molding were 1,200 for Form A and 3,800 for Form B and the direct labor hours used in Polishing were 5,000 and 15,000, respectively? Calculate the overhead cost per unit for each product using departmental rates. Round your answers to the nearest cent.
Unit Overhead Cost | |
Form A | $ |
Form B | $ |
Compare with the plantwide rate unit costs calculated in Requirement 2. What can you conclude from this outcome?
Relative to the plantwide rate, the cost
