| ------- | --------------- | ----------------------- |
| Tin     | 5,000 units     | 5.0                     |
| Wood    | 4,000 units     | 3.0                     |
| Vinyl   | 2,000 units     | 7.0                     |

**Tasks:**
1. Calculate the Single Plantwide Overhead Rate.
2. Calculate the overhead allocated to each product.

**Note:** Round any answers to two decimal places. You will need to calculate the total activity base as it is not provided in the problem.

**Calculation Section:**

- **Rate:**

- **Overhead Per Unit:**
  - Tin:

Expert Solution
Step 1

Total expected labor hours (activity base) = Labor hours used in Tin + Labor hours used in Wood + Labor hours used in Vinal

          = (5,000 x 5) + (4,000 x 3) + (2,000 x 7)

          = 25,000 + 12,000 + 14,000

          = 51,000 labor hours
