Answer:
a. $17.44 per hour
b. $43,600 ; $104,640
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. Single plantwide overhead rate equals to
= Total Overhead Amount ÷ Budgeted Direct Labor Hours
where,
Total overhead amount is
= $625,000 + $900,000 + $105,000 + $175,000 + $300,000 + $75,000
= $2,180,000
And, the budgeted direct labor hours is 125,000
So, the overhead rate is
= $2,180,000 ÷ 125,000
= $17.44 per hour
2. Now the overhead cost is
For Deluxe model
= 2,500 direct labor hours × $17.44 per hour
= $43,600
For basic model
= 6,000 direct labor hours × $17.44 per hour
= $104,640
