Purchasing Pesticide Liquid
Fertilizer
Overhead $90,000       $314,000    $167,000      $78,900     $107,800
Square feet 1,500       —    1,500      4,200     4,800

Purchase orders 20      40    7      120     60

The company does not break overhead into fixed and variable components. The bases for allocation are power—machine hours; general factory—square feet; and purchasing—purchase orders.

The company has decided to use the sequential method of allocation instead of the direct method. The support departments are ranked in order of highest cost to lowest cost.

Required:

1. Allocate the overhead costs to the producing departments using the sequential method. Carry out allocation ratios to four decimal places. Use these numbers for subsequent calculations. Round allocated costs to the nearest dollar. If an amount is zero, enter "0".

Allocation ratios:

  Power General Factory Purchasing Pesticide Liquid Fertilizer
Square feet          
Machine hours          
Purchase orders          

 

Cost allocation:

  Power General Factory Purchasing Pesticide Liquid Fertilizer
Direct costs $ $ $ $ $
General Factory               
Purchasing              
Power             
Total $ $ $ $ $

 

2. Using machine hours, compute departmental overhead rates. (Round the overhead rates to the nearest cent.)

  Overhead Rates
Pesticide $ per machine hour
Liquid Fertilizer $ per machine hour
