Answer:
$0.5
Explanation:
A plant's fixed total overhead cost is $500,000 for a year
400,000 widgets are required to be produced for this period
All processes require a 40,000 machine hours and the widgets use 16,000 hours out of the total hours
The first step is to calculate the fixed overhead application rate
= $500,000/40,000
= $12.5 machine-hour
The fixed overhead that is applied to the widgets can be calculated as follows
= $12.5 × 16,000
= $200,000
Therefore, the fixed overhead that is applied to each of the widgets produced can be calculated as follows
= 200,000/400,000
= $0.5
