Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Fabrication Department factory overhead $557,750
Assembly Department factory overhead $257,550
Total $815,300.00
Direct labor hours:
Fabrication Department 4,850 hours
Assembly Department 5,050
Total 9,900 hours
Production Departments Gasoline Engine Diesel Engine
Fabrication Department 3.1 dlh 2.1 dlh
Assembly Department 2.1 3.1
Direct labor hours per unit 5.2 dlh 5.2 dlh
A) First, we need to calculate the plantwide overhead rate:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= (815,300/9,900)
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $82.35 per direct labor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead to each product:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Gasoline= 82.35*5.2= $428.22
Diesel= 82.35*5.2= $428.22
B) We need to calculate the overhead rate for each department:
Fabrication:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 557,750/4,850= $115 oer direct labor hour
Assembly:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 257,550/5,050= $51 oer direct lbor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Gasoline:
Allocated MOH= 115*3.1 + 51*2.1= $463.6
Diesel:
Allocated MOH= 115*2.1 + 51*3.1= $399,6
