X Company uses a plantwide overhead allocation system, with direct labor cost as the cost driver. Budgeted overhead for the year is $867,000. The following annual budgeted and actual information is available for the only three products that it produces - X, Y, Z:
X | Y | Z | |
Units of production | 1,000 | 33,000 | 3,100 |
Direct labor hours per unit | 8 | 4 | 3 |
Direct labor wage rate | $17.00 | $24.00 | $26.00 |
How much overhead was allocated to Product Z [round the overhead rate to two decimal places]?
Answer: | |
Budgeted Direct Labor Hours = Total Units x Direct Labor Hours per Unit = (1,000 x 8 ) + ( 33,000 x 4) + ( 3,100 x 3 ) = 8,000 + 132,000 + 9,300 = 149,300 DLHs |
|
Plantwide Overhead rate = Budgeted Overhead / Budgeted Direct Labor Hours = $ 867,000 / 149,300 |
$ 5.81 |
Overhead allocated to Product Z = Plantwide Overhead rate x DLHs of Product Z = $ 5.81 x ( 3,100 x 3 ) = $ 5.81 x 9,300 |
$ 54,033 |
