Answer:
Overhead assigned to product labour hours
Product A = $36.5 per hour × 76%× 1900= 52,706.0
Product B = $36.5 per hour × 24%× 1900= 16,644.0
Overhead assigned to product using machine hours
Product A = $1.54 × 17,700= $27,258
Product B = $1.54 × 27,300 =$42,042
Explanation:
Under the traditional absorption costing system, overhead is assigned to units produced using the direct labour hours or machine hours basis.
Overhead absorption rate = Budgeted overhead for the period/Budgeted labour hours
OAR = $69,300 /1,900 hours
= $36.5 per hour
Overhead assigned to product
Product A = $36.5 per hour × 76%× 1900= 52,706.0
Product B = $36.5 per hour × 24%× 1900= 16,644.0
Overhead absorption rate = Budgeted overhead for the period/Budgeted machine hours
OAR = $69,300 /45,000 hours= $1.54 per hour
Overhead assigned to product
Product A = $1.54 × 17,700= $27,258
Product B = $1.54 × 27,300 =$42,042
