Direct Method

Eilers Company has two producing departments and two support departments. The following budgeted data pertain to these four departments:

	Support Departments		Producing Departments
	General Factory	Receiving	Assembly	Finishing
Direct overhead	$500,000	$150,000	$40,000	$72,000
Square footage		2,200	4,400	4,400
Number of receiving orders	340		1,850	1,500
Direct labor hours			29,000	41,000

The company has decided to simplify its method of allocating support service costs by switching to the direct method.

Required:

1. Allocate the costs of the support departments to the producing departments using the direct method. Round allocation ratios to four significant digits. Round allocated costs to the nearest dollar. Use the rounded values for subsequent calculations.

Allocation ratios:

	Assembly	Finishing
Square footage	fill in the blank 1	fill in the blank 2
Number of receiving orders	fill in the blank 3	fill in the blank 4
Allocations:
	Assembly	Finishing
General Factory	$fill in the blank 5	$fill in the blank 6
Receiving	fill in the blank 7	fill in the blank 8
Direct costs	fill in the blank 9	fill in the blank 10
Total	$fill in the blank 11	$fill in the blank 12

2. Using direct labor hours, compute departmental overhead rates. (Round to the nearest cent.)

	Overhead Rate
Assembly	fill in the blank 13 per direct labor hour
Finishing	fill in the blank 14 per direct labor hour
