A company incurs $2,700,000 of overhead each year in three departments: Ordering and Receiving, Mixing,? and Testing. The company prepares 2,000 purchase orders, works 50,000 mixing hours, and performs 1,500 tests per year in producing 200,000 drums of Goo and 600,000 drums of Slime. The following data are available:
Department Expected use of Driver Cost
Ordering and Receiving 2,000 $800,000
Mixing 50,000 1,000,000
Testing 1,500 900,000
Production information for Slime is as follows:
Expected use of Driver
Ordering and Receiving 1,600
Mixing 30,000
Testing 1,000
Compute the amount of overhead assigned to Slime.
a) $1,350,000
b) $2,025,000
c) $1,645,234d) $1,840,000

Total allocated overhead= $1,840,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Department Expected use of Driver Cost

Ordering and Receiving 2,000 $800,000

Mixing 50,000 1,000,000

Testing 1,500 900,000

Production information for Slime is as follows:

Expected use of Driver

Ordering and Receiving 1,600

Mixing 30,000

Testing 1,000

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate for each activity:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Ordering and Receiving=  800,000/2,000= $400 per order

Mixing= 1,000,000/50,000= $20 per mixing hour

Testing= 900,000/1,500 = $600 per test

Now, we can allocate overhead:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Ordering and Receiving= 400*1,600= 640,000

Mixing=20*30,000= 600,000

Testing=  600*1,000= 600,000

Total allocated overhead= $1,840,000
