Question

Ramapo Company produces two products, Blinks and Dinks. They are manufactured in two departments, Fabrication and Assembly. Data for the products and departments are listed below. Product Number of Units Direct Labor Hours Per Unit Machine Hours Per Unit Blinks 947 1 7 Dinks 1,811 6 7 All of the machine hours take place in the Fabrication department, which has an estimated overhead of $109,400. All of the labor hours take place in the Assembly department, which has an estimated total overhead of $108,000. Ramapo Company uses a single plantwide overhead rate to apply all factory overhead costs based on direct labor hours. The factory overhead allocated per unit of Blinks is

Answer 1

Answer:

Blinks= $18.4

Dinks= $110.4

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Blinks:

Units= 947

Direct labor hours per unit= 1

Dinks:

Units= 1,811

Direct labor hours per unit= 6

Fabrication Department= $109,400.

Assembly Department= $108,000.

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Total overhead= 109,400 + 108,000= $217,400

Total direct labor hours= (947*1) + (1,811*6)= 11,813

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 217,400/11,813

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $18.40 per direct labor hour.

Now, the unitary allocated overhead per unit:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Blinks= 1*18.4= $18.4

Dinks= 6*18.4= $110.4
