Machining and Assembly are operating departments: the other departments are service departments. Factory Administration is allocated based on labor-hours: Custodial Services based on square feet occupied: Personnel based on number of employees: and Maintenance based on machine-hours.
Required:
- Allocated services department costs to consuming departments by the step-down method. Then compute predetermined overhead rates in the operating departments using machine-hours as the allocated base in Machining and direct labor-hours as the allocation base in Assembly.
- Repeat (1) above, this time using the direct method. Again compute predetermined overhead rates in Machining and Assembly.
- Assume that the company doesn’t bother with allocating service department costs but simply computers a single plantwide overhead rate that divides the total overhead costs (both service department and operating costs) by the total direct labor-hours. Compute the plantwide overhead rate.
- Suppose a job requires machine and labor time as follows:
| Machine-Hours | Direct Labour-Hours | |
| Machine Department | 190 | 25 |
| Assembly Department | 10 | 75 |
| Total hours | 200 | 100 |
Using the overhead rates computed in (l). (I), and (3) above, compute the amount of overhead cost that would be assigned to the job if the overhead rates were developed using the step-down method, the direct method, and the plantwide method.

Scenario
The Francis Corporation operates two service and two producing departments in its production of go carts. The budgeted overhead
costs directly associated with the departments and other pertinent data for an upcoming month are as follows:
Overhead Costs
Machine Hours
Number of Employees
19.67 (rounded)
16.67 (rounded)
3.00
14.74 (rounded)
Service & Production Departments Data
Service Departments
Maintenance
$144,000

O 15.87
Personnel
$80,000

Personnel costs are allocated based on the number of employees, and maintenance costs are allocated based on machine hours.
Assume the Assembly department uses direct labor hours to allocate its cost is overhead costs. For the upcoming month, the
estimated direct labor hours is estimated is 19,200 hours.
Question
What will be the predetermined overhead rate for the Assembly department for the upcoming month?

In an attempt to improve budgeting, the controller for Meliore, Inc., has developed a flexible budget for overhead costs. Meliore, Inc., makes two types of products, the standard model and the deluxe model. Meliore expects to produce 300,000 units of the standard model and 120,000 units of the deluxe model during the coming year. The standard model requires 0.05 direct labor hour per unit, and the deluxe model requires 0.08. The controller has developed the following cost formulas for each of the four overhead items: Required: 1. Prepare an overhead budget for the expected activity level for the coming year. 2.
