Question
The
Oliver
Company manufactures products in two​ departments: Mixing and Packaging. The company was allocating manufacturing overhead using a single plantwide rate of
$2.40
with direct labor hours as the allocation base.
 
The company has refined its allocation system by separating manufacturing overhead costs into two cost
pools—one
for each department. The estimated costs for the Mixing​ Department,
$490,000​,
will be allocated based on direct labor​ hours, and the estimated direct labor hours for the year are
175,000.
The estimated costs for the Packaging​ Department,
$103,500​,
will be allocated based on machine​ hours, and the estimated machine hours for the year are
30,000.
In
October​,
the company incurred
68,000
direct labor hours in the Mixing Department and
3,000
machine hours in the Packaging Department.
