amount of overhead assigned to each unit of PVC fencing.

What will be an ideal response?


Dept. A rate: $54,600/6,500 MH = $8.40 per MH
Dept. B rate: $67,060/7,000 DLH = $9.58 per DLH
Dept. A MH per unit: 2,000 MH/8,000 units = .25 MH per unit
Dept. B DLH per unit: 4,000 DLH/8,000 units = .50 DLH per unit
Dept. A overhead assigned: .25 MH x $8.40 per MH = $2.10 per unit 
Dept. B. overhead assigned: .50 DLH x $9.58 per DLH = $4.79 per unit
Total overhead assigned: $2.10 + $4.79 = $6.89 per unit
Alternate calculation:
Dept. A: [(2,000 MH/6,500 MH) x $54,600]/8,000 units = $2.099 per unit
Dept. B: [(4,000 DLH/7,000 DLH) x $67,060]/8,000 units = $4.789 per unit
Total overhead assigned: $2.10 + $4.79 = $6.89 per unit
