Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

Product B1

#of setups 20

machining hours 4000

Orders packed 350

#of products manufactured 400

Setup dep overhead = 15,000

Machining dep overhead = 165,000

packing department overhead = 60,000

Overhead assigned to B1:

20/40 *15,000 = 7,500

4000/5000 *165,000 = 132,000

350/500 *60,000 = 42,000

Total = 181,500
