The stenciled patterns are then sent to the Cut and Sew Department, where the glove is cut and sewed together. Handy Leather uses the multiple production department factory overhead rate method of allocating factory overhead costs. Its factory overhead costs were budgeted as follows: 

Pattern Department overhead.....................................................$294,000

Cut and Sew Department overhead.............................................560,000

The direct labor estimated for each production department was as follows:

Pattern Department..................................................42,000 direct labor hours

Cut and Sew Department..........................................56,000

Total.............................................................................98,000 direct labor hours
