The Oswell Company manufactures products in two departments: Mixing and Packaging. The company was allocating manufacturing overhead using a single plantwide rate of $2.35 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, $560,500, will be allocated based on direct labor hours, and the estimated direct labor hours for the year are 190,000. The estimated costs for the Packaging Department, $256,750, will be allocated based on machine hours, and the estimated machine hours for the year are 65,000. In October, the company incurred 47,000 direct labor hours in the Mixing Department and 9,000 machine hours in the Packaging Department. Requirement 1. Compute the predetermined overhead allocation rates. Round to two decimal places. Begin by selecting the formula to calculate the predetermined overhead (OH) allocation rate. Then enter the amounts to compute the allocation rate for each department. Mixing Packaging + Requirement 2. Determine the total amount of overhead allocated in October. Predetermined OH allocation rate
