The image contains a section of a financial analysis exercise related to overhead allocation for products using the traditional direct labor hours method. Here's a detailed transcription suitable for an educational website:---### Overhead Allocation Exercise**(i) Allocation of Overhead to Each Product****Question:** How much overhead will be allocated to each product using the traditional direct labor hours allocation base? *(Round per unit rates to 2 decimal places, e.g., 3.54 and final answers to 0 decimal places, e.g., 45,286.)*| Product | AM-2 | FM-9 ||---------|------|------|| Overhead allocated to each product | $____ | $____ |---**(ii) Overhead Cost Per Unit****Question:** What overhead cost per unit will be allocated to each product? *(Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 15.25.)*| Product | AM-2 | FM-9 ||---------|------|------|| Overhead cost per unit | $____ | $____ |---This exercise requires calculating how overheads are distributed across products using a traditional accounting method based on direct labor hours. The task involves determining both the total overhead allocation and the per-unit overhead costs for products AM-2 and FM-9. Calculation precision is emphasized, with specific rounding instructions provided for accuracy. **Swifty Electronics Components Manufacturer****Product Information:**| | **AM-2** | **FM-9** ||------------------------|----------|----------|| **Units produced** | 20,000 | 6,000 || **Direct labor hours required for production** | 10,000 | 15,000 || **Units per batch** | 4,000 | 600 || **Shipping weight per unit** | 0.50 lbs. | 10 lbs. |**Additional Information:**- The company incurs $860,000 in overhead per year.- Overhead has traditionally been applied based on direct labor hours. This data outlines the production details of Swifty's two product lines, AM-2 and FM-9, along with associated labor, batch, and shipping metrics. The overhead costs are distributed using the direct labor hours as the basis for application.
