Convert Departmental Data to Plantwide Data, Plantwide Overhead Rate, Apply Overhead to Production
At the beginning of the year, Jonson Company estimated the following:
Firing Department | Polishing Department | Total | |||
Overhead | $405,000 | $110,000 | $515,000 | ||
Direct labor hours | 28,750 | 100,000 | 128,750 | ||
Kiln hours | 90,000 | — | 90,000 |
Assume that Jonson has decided to use a plantwide overhead rate based on direct labor hours. Actual data for the month of July are as follows:
Firing Department | Polishing Department | Total | |||
Overhead | $34,000 | $9,370 | $43,370 | ||
Direct labor hours | 2,350 | 8,600 | 10,950 | ||
Kiln hours | 7,400 | — | 7,400 |
Required:
1. Calculate the predetermined plantwide
overhead rate.
$ per direct labor hour
2. Calculate the overhead applied to production
for the month of July.
$
3. Calculate the overhead variance for the month of July.
