Answer:
Chairs= $2.805
Tables= $2.25
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Hazardous waste disposal costs= $630,000
Production:
Chairs= 211,000
Tables= 17,000 units
Direct labor hours required:
Chairs= 254,000 DLH
Tables= 16,400 DLH
Total DLH= 270,400
First, we need to calculate the estimated overhead rate:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 630,000/ 270,400
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $2.33 per direct labor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead to each product line:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Chairs= 2.33*254,000= $591,820
Tables= 2.33*16,400= $38,212
Finally overhead per unit:
Chairs= 591,820/211,000= $2.805
Tables= 38,212/17,000= $2.25
