Sagot :

Answer:

a. Total number of budgeted direct labor hours for the year = Direct labor hours for night lights + Direct labor hours for desk lamps

= 30,000*1/2 + 40,000*2

= 15,000 + 80,000

= 95,000 hours

b. Single plant-wide factory overhead rate using direct labor hours = Budgeted factory overhead / Budgeted factory hours

= $403,750 / 95,000 hours

= $4.25 per hour

c. Per unit factory overhead = Number of hours required to complete one unit * Factory overhead rate per hour

Night light

Per unit factory overhead = 0.5 * 4.25

Per unit factory overhead = $2.125 per unit

Desk lamp

Per unit factory overhead = 2 * 4.25

Per unit factory overhead = $8.50 per unit
