Number of Labor
Product Number of Orders Transactions Labor Hours
I 15 50 500
II 10 150 2,000
Cost per pool $12,500 $8,000 $40,000
If the number of labor hours is used to assign labor costs from the cost pool, determine the amount of overhead cost to be assigned to Product I.
a. $8,000.
b. $58,000.
c. $9,600.
d. $32,000.

Answer 1

a. $8,000.

The computation of the amount of overhead cost assigned to the product I is shown below:

= $40,000 ÷ 2,500 × $500

= $8,000

Hence, the amount of overhead cost assigned to the product I is $8,000

Therefore the correct option is a.
