Product Number of Units Labor Hours Per Unit Machine Hours Per Unit Blinks 1,013 4 4 Dinks 1,859 5 7 All of the machine hours take place in the Fabrication department, which has an estimated overhead of $90,500. All of the labor hours take place in the Assembly department, which has an estimated total overhead of $109,700. The Ramapo Company uses a single overhead rate to apply all overhead costs based on labor hours. What is the overhead cost per unit for Blinks

Answer 1

Answer:

$60 per unit

Explanation:

Total overheads:

= Overheads of fabrication department + Overheads of assembly department

= $90,500 + $109,700

= $200,200

Total labor hours:

= Blinks + Dinks

= (1,013 × 4) +  (1,859 × 5)

= 4,052 + 9,295

= 13,347

Overhead rate per hour = Total overheads ÷ Total labor hours

                                        = $200,200 ÷ 13,347

                                        = $15 per hour

Total overhead cost for blinks:

= Total hours for blinks × rate per hour

= 4,052 × $15 per hour

= $60,780

Overhead cost per unit for Blinks:

= Total overhead cost for blinks ÷ Total units

= $60,780 ÷ 1,013

= $60 per unit
