Solutions

Expert Solution

Cutting Department Overhead allocation rate = Overhead Costs/ Direct labor Hours

Cutting Department Overhead allocation rate = $185,000/ 30,000

Cutting Department Overhead allocation rate = $6.17 Per hour

Assembly Department Overhead allocation rate = Overhead Costs/ Direct labor Hours

Assembly Department Overhead allocation rate = $102,000/ 8,000

Assembly Department Overhead allocation rate = $12.75 Per hour

Finishing Department Overhead allocation rate = Overhead Costs/ Direct labor Hours

Finishing Department Overhead allocation rate = $75,000/ 15,000

Finishing Department Overhead allocation rate = $5.00 Per hour

Calculation of the total cost of producing on Jetpack:

Particulars Amount ($)
Direct Material 197.00
Direct Labor 103.00
Cutting Department Overhead Cost (15 Hours $6.17) 92.55
Assembly Department Overhead Cost (10 Hours $12.75) 127.50
Finishing Department Overhead Cost (7 Hours ​​​​​​​ $5.00) 35.00
