Answer 1

Adirondack Marketing Inc.'s Factory Overhead per unit of Product A is d. $222.09 per unit.

Data and Calculations:

Overhead             Total       Direct Labor Hours  DLH per Product

                                                                              A                 B

Painting Dept.      $251,700     10,200                 9                 5

Finishing Dept.         61,700      11,900                 5                 6

Totals                   $313,400     22,100                14                 11

The overhead rate for a unit of Product A in the Painting Department = Total overhead in the Painting Department divided by Direct Labor Hours, multiplied by direct labor hours per unit of Product A.

= $222.09 ($251,700/10,200 x 9)

Thus, for a unit of Product A, the overhead rate in the Painting Department is $222.09.
