Eclipse Motor Company manufactures two types of specialty electric motors, a commercial motor and a residential motor, through two production departments, Assembly and Testing. Presently, the c uses a single plantwide factory overhead rate for allocating factory overhead to the two products. However, management is considering using the multiple production department factory overhead rat method. The following factory overhead was budgeted for Eclipse: Assembly Department $280,000 Testing Department 800,000 Total $1,080,000 Direct machlne hours were estimated as follows: Assembly Department 4,000 hours I Testing Department 5,000 Total 9.000 hours In addltion, the direct machine hours (dmh) used to produce a unit of each product in each department were determined from engineering records, as follows: Commercial Residential Assembly Department 2.0 dmh 3.0 dmh Testing Department 6.0 1.5 Total machine hours per unlt 8.0 dmh 4.5 dmh 1. Determine the per-unit factory overhead aliocated to the commercial and residential motors under the single plantwide factory overhead rate method, using direct machine hours as the allocation base. Commercial $[:] perunit Residential $[:] per unit ). Deten'nine the per-unit factory overhead allocated to the commercial and residential motors under the multiple production department factory overhead rate method, using direct machine hours as the allocation base for each department. Commercial $[:] perunit Residential $[:] per unit :. Recommend to management a product costing approach, based on your anaiys in (a) and (b). l. The management shouid consider muitiple production department factory overhead rate methods, because this method calculates the cost more accurately and considers the fact that commercial products Jse more costly overheads than residential products. 2. The management shouid consider single plantwide factory overhead rate methodsr because this method calculates the cost more accurately and considers the fact that the overheads are applied evenly )ased on the direct labor hours. 3. The management could consider either multiple production department factory overhead rate method or the single plantwide rate, as both these methods have the same effect on the nal costs. V
