The costs of the Human Resources Department are allocated on the basis of number of employees, and the costs of General Factory are allocated on the basis of square footage. Valron
Company uses the direct method of support department cost allocation. Solve for the allocated costs to Fabricating and Assembly using the direct method of support department cost
allocation. The Fabricating Department overhead rate is based on normal activity of 80,000 machine hours. The Assembly Department overhead rate is based on normal activity of
160,000 direct labor hours.
316 required six machine hours in Fabricating
five direct labor hours in Assembly. Total direct materials cost $140, and total direct labor cost was $50.
Required:
1. Calculate the overhead rate for Fabricating based on machine hours and the overhead rate for Assembly based on direct labor hours. If required, round your answers to the nearest

Allocation of Human Resources Departments

Total number of employees of Producing departments=87.5+162.5= 250

Fabricating= $160000*87.5/250= $56,000

Assembly= $160000*167.5/250= $104,000

Allocation of General Factory Departments

Total square footage of Producing departments= 4,000+12,000=16,000

Fabricating= $340,000*4,000/16,000= $85,000

Assembly= $340,000*12,000/16,000= $255,000

1) Fabricating department= Total cost allocated/Total machine hours

= $255,600/80,000= $3.20  per Machine hours

Assembly department= Total cost allocated/Total labor hours

= $455,000/160,000= $2.84 per Direct labor hours

2) Overhead= (6 machine hours * $3.20+5 Direct labor hours * $2.84) = $33.40

Cost of Job 316= Direct materials +Direct labor +Overhead

= $140+$50+$33.40=$223.4

3) Overhead= (2 machine hours * $3.20+5 Direct labor hours *$2.84) = $20.60

Ne cost of Job 316=Direct materials +Direct labor +Overhead

= $140+50+20.60=$210.60
