Manufacturing overhead (both variable and fixed) is allocated to each wardrobe on the basis of budgeted direct manufacturing labour hours.

The budgeted variable manufacturing overhead rate for January 2021 is $35 per direct manufacturing labour-hour.

The budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead for the month is $42,500. Both variable and fixed manufacturing overhead costs are allocated to each unit of finished goods on the basis of direct manufacturing labour-hours.
