Answer:
January:
Total overhead= $11,948
February:
Total overhead= $11,360
March:
Total Overhead= $13,302.5
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Budgeted direct labor hours for the first 3 months of the coming year are:
January= 13,140
February= 12,300
March 15,075
The variable overhead rate is $0.70 per direct labor hour. Fixed overhead is budgeted at $2,750 per month.
To calculate the total overhead for each month, we need to sum the total variable overhead and the fixed overhead. Total variable overhead is the result of applying the variable overhead rate multiplicated with the direct labor hour.
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
January:
Total overhead= (0.70*13,140) + 2,750= $11,948
February:
Total overhead= (0.70*12,300) + 2,750= $11,360
March:
Total Overhead= (0,70*15,075) + 2,750= $13,302.5
