Answer:
Each product will be allocated with 38.30 dollars of manufacturing overhead as both takes 0.81 DLH
Explanation:
[tex]\frac{Cost\: Of \:Manufacturing \:Overhead}{Cost \:Driver}= Overhead \:Rate[/tex]
To calcualte the overhead rate we need to distribute the expected cost over the expected cost driver, in this case, labor hours:
(39,000 + 8,000) x 0.81 DLH = 38,070 labor hous
$1,800,000 overhead / 38,070 DLH = 47,281323877
the overhead per hour is $47.28
overhead per product:
47,281323877 x 0.81 = 38,29787234 = 38.30
