Blackwelder Factory produces two similar products - small lamps
and desk lamps. The total plant overhead budget is $640,000 with
400,000 estimated direct labor hours. It is further estimated that
small lamp production will require 275,000 direct labor hours and
desk lamp production will need 125,000 direct labor hours.
Using the single plantwide factory overhead rate with an allocation
base of direct labor hours, how much factory overhead will
Blackwelder Factory allocate to desk lamp production if actual
direct hours for the period is 118,000?
a.$118,000
b.$125,000
c.$188,800
d.$200,000

Panamint Systems Corporation is estimating activity costs associated with producing disk drives, tapes drives, and wire drives. The indirect labor can be traced to four separate activity pools. The budgeted activity cost and activity base data by product are provided below.Activity Cost | Activity Base | ||
Procurement | $370,000 | Number of purchase orders | |
Scheduling | 250,000 | Number of production orders | |
Materials handling | 500,000 | Number of moves | |

Part 1
Estimated overheads = $640,000
Estimated direct labor hour = 400,000
Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated overheads/Estimated direct labor hour
= 640,000/400,000
= $1.6 per direct labor hour
Overhead allocate to desk lamp production = Actual direct labor hour used x Predetermined overhead rate
= 118,000 x 1.6
= $188.800
Correct option is (c)
Part 2
Total number of moves = Moves used in disk drives + Moves used in tape drive + Move used in wire drive
= 1,400 + 800 + 4,000
= 6,200
material handling cost = $500,000
Actual rate for material handling per move = material handling cost/Total number of moves
= 500,000/6,200
= $80.65
Correct option is (a)
