Step-1:Calculation of single plant wide overhead recovery rate

	Overhead recovery rate	=	Total overhead costs / Total direct labor hours
		=	$ 529,000	/	540,000	direct labor hours
		=	$ 0.98	per direct labor hour

Step-2:Calculation of overhead allocated to small lamp

	Allocated overhead	=	Actual direct labor hours * Overhead recovery rate
		=	191,000	*	$ 0.98
		=	$ 187,180

Step-1:Calculation of single plant wide overhead recovery rate

	Overhead recovery rate	=	Total overhead costs / Total direct labor hours
		=	$ 582,000	/	471,000	direct labor hours
		=	$ 1.24	per direct labor hour

Step-2:Calculation of overhead allocated to small lamp

	Allocated overhead	=	Actual direct labor hours * Overhead recovery rate
		=	178,000	*	$ 1.24
		=	$ 220,720

Step-1:Calculation of single plant wide overhead recovery rate

	Overhead recovery rate	=	Total overhead costs / Total direct labor hours
		=	$ 5,63,000	/	350,200	direct labor hours
		=	$ 1.607652	per direct labor hour

Step-2:Calculation of overhead allocated to small lamp

	Allocated overhead	=	Actual direct labor hours * Overhead recovery rate
		=	104,800	*	$ 1.607652
		=	$ 168,482
