Answer:
Allocated MOH= $320
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Overhead Direct Labor Product
Hours (dlh) A B
Painting Dept. $248,000 10,000 dlh 16 dlh 4 dlh
Finishing Dept. 72,000 10,000 4 16
Totals $320,000 20,000 dlh 20 dlh 20 dlh
<u>First, we need to calculate the plantwide overhead rate:</u>
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 320,000 / 20,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $16 per direct labor hour
<u>Now, we can allocate overhead:</u>
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 16*20
Allocated MOH= $320
