Predetermined Departmental Overhead Rates, Applying Overhead to Production

At the beginning of the year, Hallett Company estimated the following:

	Cutting Department		Sewing Department		Total
Overhead	$240,000		$350,000		$590,000
Direct labor hours	31,200		100,000		131,200
Machine hours	150,000				150,000

Hallett uses departmental overhead rates. In the cutting department, overhead is applied on the basis of machine hours. In the sewing department, overhead is applied on the basis of direct labor hours. Actual data for the month of June are as follows:

	Cutting Department		Sewing Department		Total
Overhead	$20,610		$35,750		$56,360
Direct labor hours	2,800		8,600		11,400
Machine hours	13,640				13,640

Required:

1. Calculate the predetermined overhead rates for the cutting and sewing departments. Round your answers to the nearest cent.

Cutting department overhead rate	$ per machine hour
Sewing department overhead rate	$ per direct labor hour

2. Calculate the overhead applied to production in each department for the month of June.

Overhead applied to cutting in June	$
Overhead applied to sewing in June	$

3. By how much has each department's overhead been overapplied or underapplied?

Cutting department overhead variance	$ Overapplied
Sewing department overhead variance	$ Underapplied
