Single plantwide factory overhead rate

Bach Instruments Inc. makes three musical instruments: flutes, clarinets, and oboes. The budgeted factory overhead cost is $152,800. Overhead is allocated to the three products on the basis of direct labor hours. The products have the following budgeted production volume and direct labor hours per unit:

	Budgeted Production Volume		Direct Labor Hours Per Unit
Flutes	2,900	units	0.5
Clarinets	700		1.5
Oboes	1,100		1.2

If required, round all per unit answers to the nearest cent.

a. Determine the single plantwide overhead rate. $ per direct labor hour

b. Use the overhead rate in (a) to determine the amount of total and per-unit overhead allocated to each of the three products.

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		$148,800
Cut and Sew Department overhead		246,000
	Total	$394,800

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

Pattern Department		2,400	direct labor hours
Cut and Sew Department		3,000
	Total	5,400	direct 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:

Production Departments	Small Glove		Medium Glove		Large Glove
Pattern Department	0.05		0.06		0.07
Cut and Sew Department	0.07		0.09		0.11
Direct labor hours per unit	0.12		0.15		0.18

If required, round all per unit answers to the nearest cent.

a. Determine the two production department factory overhead rates.

Pattern Department	$per dlh
Cut and Sew Department	$per dlh

b. Use the two production department factory overhead rates to determine the factory overhead per unit for each product.

Small glove	$ per unit
Medium glove	$ per unit
Large glove	$ per unit
