Assembly Department | $188,600 | ||
Testing Department | 697,000 | ||
Total | $885,600 |
Direct machine hours were estimated as follows:
Assembly Department | 4,100 | hours | |
Testing Department | 8,200 | ||
Total | 12,300 | hours |
In addition, the direct machine hours (dmh) used to produce a unit of each product in each department were determined from engineering records, as follows:
Commercial | Residential | |||
Assembly Department | 0.50 | dmh | 1.00 | dmh |
Testing Department | 1.00 | 2.00 | ||
Total machine hours per unit | 1.50 | dmh | 3.00 | dmh |
a. Determine the per-unit factory overhead allocated to the Commercial and Residential motors under the single plantwide factory overhead rate method, using direct machine hours as the allocation base.
Commercial Motor | $ per unit |
Residential Motor | $ per unit |
b. Determine the per-unit factory overhead allocated to the Commercial and Residential motors under the multiple production department factory overhead rate method, using direct machine hours as the allocation base for each department.

- Anazi Leather Company manufactures leather handbags and moccasins. The company has been using the single plantwide factory overhead rate method but has decided to evaluate the multiple production department factory overhead rate method to allocate factory overhead. The factory overhead estimated per unit together with direct materials and direct labor will help determine selling prices. Handbags = 60,000 units, 3 hours of direct labor Moccasins = 40,000 units, 2 hours of direct labor Total budgeted factory overhead cost = $360,000 The company has two different production departments: Cutting and Sewing. The Cutting Department has a factory overhead budget of $80,000. Each unit will require 1 direct labor hour or a total of 100,000 direct labor hours. The Sewing Department estimates factory overhead in the amount of $280,000. Handbags require 2 hours of sewing time, and Moccasins require 1 hour for a total of 160,000 direct labor hours. Using the multiple production department factory…arrow_forwardPatel and Sons Inc. uses a standard cost system to apply factory overhead costs to units produced. Practical capacity for the plant is defined as 51,600 machine hours per year, which represents 25,800 units of output. Annual budgeted fixed factory overhead costs are $258,000 and the budgeted variable factory overhead cost rate is $2.50 per unit. Factory overhead costs are applied on the basis of standard machine hours allowed for units produced. Budgeted and actual output for the year was 19,500 units, which took 40,600 machine hours. Actual fixed factory overhead costs for the year amounted to $251,600 while the actual variable overhead cost per unit was $2.40. Assume that at the end of the year, management of Patel and Sons decides that the overhead cost variances should be allocated to WIP Inventory, Finished Goods Inventory, and Cost of Goods Sold (CGS) using the following percentages: 10%, 20%, and 70%, respectively.

The total factory overhead budget is $615,000 with 478,000 estimated direct labor hours. It is further estimated that small table lamp production will require 261,000 direct labor hours, and desk lamp production will need 125,000 direct labor hours. Using a single plantwide factory overhead rate with an allocation base of direct labor hours, the factory overhead that Blackwelder Factory will allocate to small table lamp production if actual direct labor hours for the period for small table lamp production is 183,000 would be a.$518,641 b.$877,131 c.$236,070 d.$739,700arrow_forward
- The Gilster Company, a machine tooling firm, has several plants. One plant, located in St. Cloud, Minnesota, uses a job order costing system for its batch production processes. The St. Cloud plant has two departments through which most jobs pass. Plant-wide overhead, which includes the plant manager’s salary, accounting personnel, cafeteria, and human resources, is budgeted at $250,000. During the past year, actual plantwide overhead was $230,000. Each department’s overhead consists primarily of depreciation and other machine-related expenses. Selected budgeted and actual data from the St. Cloud plant for the past year are as follows.
