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	2,800	units	0.4
Clarinets	500		1.4
Oboes	1,000		1.2

$fill in the blank 1 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.

	Total Factory Overhead Cost	Per Unit Factory Overhead Cost
Flutes	$fill in the blank 2	$fill in the blank 3
Clarinets	fill in the blank 4	fill in the blank 5
Oboes	fill in the blank 6	fill in the blank 7
Total	$fill in the blank 8

Answer 1

	Budgeted Production Volume	x	Direct Labor Hours Per Unit	Budgeted Direct Labor hours
Flutes	2,800	x	0.4	1,120
Clarinets	500	x	1.4	700
Oboes	1,000	x	1.2	1,200
				3,020

(a)
Single plant wide overhead rate          = Budgeted factory overhead cost / Bud. DLH's          =   $ 96,640 / 3,020	$ 32 per DLH

(b)
	Total Factory Overhead Cost	Per Unit Factory Overhead Cost
Flutes	$ 35,840 ( 1,120 x $ 32 )	$ 12.80 ( $ 35,840 / 2,800 )
Clarinets	$ 22,400 ( 700 x $ 32 )	$ 44.80 ( $ 22,400 / 500)
Oboes	$ 38,400 ( 1,200 x $ 32 )	$ 38.40 ( $ 38,400 / 1,000)
Total	$ 96,640
