epartments have estimated annual factory overhead costs of $256,000 and $480,000, respectively. The Fabrication Dept. expects 25,000 machine hours this year. The Assembly Dept. expects $592,000 DL cost this year. Calculate the factory overhead cost that will be charged to each unit of the two products using multiple production dept. factory overhead rates (round to nearest $0.00).

Respuesta :

Answer:

Factory overhead cost charged to each unit:

                                                     Fabrication     Assembly

Factory overhead rates                  $10.24             $0.81

Machine hours per unit                   5

Direct labor cost per unit                                       $118.40

Factory overhead cost per unit   $51.20             $95.90

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                         Fabrication            Assembly

Annual overhead costs  $256,000              $480,000

Expected machine hours   25,000                             0

Expected direct labor costs         0               $592,000

Overhead rates                $10.24                  $0.81

                         ($256,000/25,000)             ($480,000/$592,000)

Assuming number of units produced = 5,000

Each unit will consume   5 (25,000/5,000)   $118.40 ($592,000/5,000)

                                    machine hours           direct labor cost

Overhead cost per unit = $51.20                  $95.90

                                     ($10.24 * 5)               ($118.40 * $0.81)
