Question

K Company estimates that overhead costs for the next year will be $3,441,000 for indirect labor and $930,000 for factory utilities. The company uses direct labor hours as its overhead allocation base. If 93,000 direct labor hours are planned for this next year, how much overhead would be assigned to a product requiring 5 direct labor hours

Answer 1

$235.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation to determine how much overhead would be assigned to a product requiring 5 direct labor hours

Overhead assigned to direct labor hours=[($3,441,000 + $930,000)/93000 direct labor hours]*5 direct labor hours

Overhead assigned to direct labor hours=($4,371,000/93,000)* 5 direct labor hours

Overhead assigned to direct labor hours= $47 per direct labor hour* 5 direct labor hours

Overhead assigned to direct labor hours= $235.00

Therefore how much overhead would be assigned to a product requiring 5 direct labor hours will be $235
