Direct Method and Overhead Rates Jasmine Company manufactures both pesticide and liquid fertilizer, with each product manufactured in separate departments. Three support departments support the production departments: Power, General Factory, and Purchasing, Budgeted data on the five departments are as follows Support Departments General Factory Producing Departments Liquid Pesticide Fertilizer Power Purchasing Overhead 390,000 $312,000 $165,000 $78,500 $107,400 Square feet 1,500 1,500 4,200 4,800 Machine hours 1,403 1,345 24,000 8,000 Purchase orders 20 40 7 120 60 nts. The bases for allocation are power-machine hours general factory-square feet, and The company does not break overhead into fixed and variable compor purchasing-purchase orders. Required: 1. Allocate the overhead costs to the producing departments using the direct method. If required, round your allocation ratios to four decimal places and round allocated costs to the nearest dollar and use the rounded values for the subsequent calculations Cost assignment: Pesticide Liquid Fertilizer 107,400 Direct costs 78,500 Power 67,500 22,500 General Factory 145,600 x 166,400 x 1. Allocate the overhead costs to the producing departments using the direct method. If required, round your allocation ratios to four decimal places and round allocated costs to the nearest dollar and use the rounded values for the subsequent calculations, Cost assignment: Pesticide Liquid Fertilizer Direct costs 78,500 107,400 Power 67,500 22,500 General Factory 145,600 X 166,400 X Purchasing 55,000 x 110,000 X Total 401,600 X 351,300 X 2. Using machine hours, compute departmental overhead rates (Round the overhead rates to the nearest cent.) Departmental overhead rates 16.73 per machine hour Pesticide 43.91 per machine hour Liquid Fertilizer Feedback Check My Work 1. Allocation = Allocation ratio x Budgeted support service costs. Needs Instructor Grading 2. Overhead rate is computed by adding the allocated service costs to the overhead costs that are directly traceable to the producing department and dividing th total by some measure of activity, such as direct labor hours or machine hours
