The management of Firebolt Industries Inc. manufactures gasoline and diesel engines through two production departments, Fabrication and Assembly. Management needs accurate product cost information in order to guide product strategy. Presently, the company uses a single plantwide factory overhead rate for allocating factory overhead to the two products. However, management is considering the multiple production department factory overhead rate method. The following factory overhead was budgeted for Firebolt:

1

Fabrication Department factory overhead

$571,200.00

2

Assembly Department factory overhead

253,000.00

3

Total

$824,200.00

Direct labor hours were estimated as follows:

Fabrication Department

5,100

hours

Assembly Department

4,600

Total

9,700

Hours

In addition, the direct labor hours (dlh) used to produce a unit of each product in each department were determined from engineering records, as follows:

Production Departments

Fabrication Department

Gasoline Engine. 2.8 dlh

Diesel Engine. 2.2 dlh

Assembly Department

Gasoline Engine. 2.2

Diesel Engine. 2.8

Direct labor hours per unit

Gasoline Engine. 5.0 dlh

Diesel Engine. 5.0 dlh

Single plantwide method

Determine the per-unit factory overhead allocated to the gasoline and diesel engines under the single plantwide factory overhead rate method, using direct labor hours as theactivity base. If required, round all per-direct labor hours and per-unit answers to the nearest cent.
