Calculate the overhead rate per unit for Product A in the painting department of Adirondack Marketing Inc.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Painting Dept Overhead Rate per unit if Product A = $400

Explanation:

The overhead absorption rate will be calculated for individual departments. First we need to calculate the departmental OAR.

  • Painting OAR = 250000 / 10000 = $25 per direct labor hour
  • Finishing OAR = 75000 / 12000 = $6.25 per direct labor hour

One unit of product A uses 16 Direct Labor hours in Painting department.

Painting department overheads allocated to one unit of Product A will be,

25 * 16 = $400 per unit of Product A
