Estimated overhead | $ | 420,000 | $ | 540,000 | |||
Estimated activity: | |||||||
Machine hours | 70,000 | 15,000 | |||||
Direct labor hours | 40,000 | 60,000 | |||||
Actual activity: | |||||||
Machine hours | 64,500 | 12,500 | |||||
Direct labor hours | 35,000 | 63,200 | |||||
What is the total amount of overhead assigned to the product?
$860,000
Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated overhead ÷ Estimated allocation base
Predetermined rate for Machining Department = Estimated overhead ÷ Estimated machine hours = $420,000 / 70,000 = $6 per machine hour
Predetermined rate for Assembly Department = Estimated overhead ÷ Estimated direct labor hours = $540,000 / 60,000 = $9 per direct labor hour
The total amount of overhead that will be assigned to the product = (64,500 Actual machine hours × $6 per machine hour) + (63,200 Actual direct labor hours × $9 per direct labor hour) = $955,800
