Direct Method, Reciprocal Method, Overhead Rates Macalister Corporation is developing departmental overhead rates based on direct labor hours for its two production departmentsMolding and Assembly. The Molding Department employs 24 people, and the Assembly Department employs 77 people. Each person in these two departments works 1,890 hours per year. The production-related overhead costs for the Molding Department are budgeted at $199,000, and the Assembly Department costs are budgeted at $96,000. Two support departmentsEngineering and General Factorydirectly support the two production departments and have budgeted costs of $247,000 and $380,000, respectively. The production departments overhead rates cannot be determined until the support departments costs are properly allocated. The following schedule reflects the use of the Engineering Departments and General Factory Departments output by the various departments. Engineering General Factory Molding Assembly Engineering hours 2,500 2,200 7,800 Square feet 123,640 382,160 56,200 For all requirements, round allocation ratios to four significant digits and round allocated costs to the nearest dollar. Required: 1. Calculate the overhead rates per direct labor hour for the Molding Department and the Assembly Department using the direct allocation method to charge the production departments for support department costs. Round final answers to the nearest cent. Overhead rate per DLH Molding $ Assembly $ 2. Calculate the overhead rates per direct labor hour for the Molding Department and the Assembly Department using the reciprocal method to charge support department costs to each other and to the production departments. Round final answers to the nearest cent. Round your intermediate calculations to four decimal places. Overhead rate per DLH Molding $ Assembly $ 3. Explain the difference between the methods, and indicate the arguments generally presented to support the reciprocal method over the direct allocation method. (CMA adapted) Check My Wo
