Multiple Production Department Factory Overhead Rate Method

Handy Leather, Inc., produces three sizes of sports gloves: small, medium, and large. A glove pattern is first stenciled onto leather in the Pattern Department. The stenciled patterns are then sent to the Cut and Sew Department, where the glove is cut and sewed together. Handy Leather uses the multiple production department factory overhead rate method of allocating factory overhead costs. Its factory overhead costs were budgeted as follows:

Pattern Department overhead$198,800Cut and Sew Department overhead329,000Total$527,800

The direct labor estimated for each production department was as follows:

Pattern Department2,800direct labor hoursCut and Sew Department3,500Total6,300direct labor hours

Direct labor hours are used to allocate the production department overhead to the products. The direct labor hours per unit for each product for each production department were obtained from the engineering records as follows:
