maxonik [38]

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

Hence the fixed overhead that is applicable to each widgets is $0.5
