Final answer:
After subtracting the standard product's machine hours from the total machine hours, the remaining hrs are allocated to the extreme product. By allocating the $200,000 overhead based on machine hours, the overhead allocated to the extreme product is calculated to be approximately $196,000. However, as this number is not one of the provided options, the closest match and likely correct answer given the options is $200,000.
Thus the corret opction is:3
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks to calculate the total overhead allocated to the extreme product for Tri bikes, which has shifted from using direct labor hours for overhead allocation to using machine hours. Initially, the total overhead is $300,000, and $200,000 of this is estimated for machine hours.
There are 4,000 machine hours used for the standard product, but the hours for the extreme product are not directly provided.
Since the extreme product uses the rest of the machine hours, we first subtract the standard product's machine hours from the total to find the machine hours for the extreme product.
Then, we allocate the overhead for the extreme product based on its machine hours' proportion of the total 200,000 machine hour costs.
This step-by-step process leads to the calculation of the total overhead allocated to the extreme product.
Calculation
Total Machine Hours = Standard + Extreme
Total Overhead for Machine Hours = $200,000
Machine Hours for Standard Product = 4,000 hours
Machine Hours for Extreme Product = Total Machine Hours - Machine Hours for Standard Product
Machine Hours for Extreme Product = 200,000 - 4,000 = 196,000 hours
Overhead per Machine Hour = Total Overhead for Machine Hours / Total Machine Hours
Overhead per Machine Hour = $200,000 / 200,000 hours = $1/hour
Overhead Allocated to Extreme Product = Overhead per Machine Hour * Machine Hours for Extreme Product = $1/hour * 196,000 hours = $196,000
However, the closest option we have to 196,000 from the given answers is $200,000 (option 3), which might suggest a typo in the question provided regarding the total machine hours allocated to the extreme product.
The complete questipon is:content loaded
Tri bikes manufactures 2 different levels of bicycles, the standard and the extreme. The total overhead of 300,000 has traditionally been allocated by direct labor hours, with 150,000 hours for the standard and 50,1000 hours for the extreme. After analyzing and assigning costs to 22 cost pools, it was determined that machine hours is estimated to have200,000 of overhead, with 4,000 hours used on the standard product. What is the total overhead allocated to the extreme product?
1) $100,000
2) $150,000
3) $200,000
4) $250,000
