Answer to Problem 5E

Hence, the departmental overhead rate for the moulding based on the machine hours is $23.93/machine hours.

Hence, the departmental overhead rate for the trimming based on the direct labour hours is $12.29/direct labour hours.

Explanation of Solution

Department overhead rate for moulding department as follows:

=estimated overhead costmachine hours

= 73000030500hrs

= 23.93/machine hours

Hence, the department overhead rate for the moulding based on the machine hours is $23.93/machine hours.

Department overhead rate for trimming department as follows,

=estimated overhead costlabour hours

= 59000048000hrs

= 12.29/direct labour hours

Hence, the departmental overhead rate for the trimming based on the direct labour hours is $12.29/direct labour hours.

Answer to Problem 5E

Total overhead cost to part A27C is $130646 and for part X82B is $67424

Explanation of Solution

Overhead cost assigned to A27C (department wise) is as follows:

Total overhead moulding = machine hours × overhead rate of department

= 5100 machine hours × $23.93/machine hours

= $122043

Now,

Total overhead cost to A27C (department wise ) is as follows:

Total overhead trimming = labour hours ×department overhead rate

=700 direct labour hours × 12.29/direct labour hours

= $8603          

Total overhead for both the department (122043+8603)

= $130646

Overhead cost assigned to X82B (department wise) is as follows:

                                                                   Total overhead moulding = machine hours×overhead rate of department

= 1020 machine hours ×$23.93/machine hours

= $24409

Now,

Total overhead cost to X82B (department wise) is as follows:

Total overhead trimming = labour hours×department overhead rate

=3500 direct labour hours×12.29/direct labour hours

= $43015

Total overhead for both the department(24409+43015)

= $67424
