Performance Bicycle Company makes steel and titanium handle bars for bicycles. It requires approximately 1 hour of labor to make one handle bar of either type. During the most recent accounting period, Barr Company made 6,600 steel bars and 3,400 titanium bars. Setup costs amounted to $46,000. One batch of each type of bar was run each month. If a single company-wide overhead rate based on direct labor hours is used to allocate overhead costs to the two products, the amount of setup cost assigned to the steel bars will be:

Answer:

Overhead cost allocated to steel bars = $4.6 [tex]\times[/tex] 6,600 = $30,360

Explanation:

Provided information,

Two products manufactured

Steel Bars and Titanium bars

Number of hours = 1 hour each

Total units produced

Steel = 6,600

Titanium = 3,400

Total hours @ 1 hour for each = 6,600 + 3,400 = 10,000

Total Setup cost = $46,000

Cost per hour based on direct labor hours = $46,000/10,000 = $4.6

Overhead cost allocated to steel bars = $4.6 [tex]\times[/tex] 6,600 = $30,360
