Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Total budgeted factory overhead = $750,000

Canopy Tent Total

Direct labor hours

Cutting 2 1 3

Sewing 1 6 7

Total direct labor hours 3 7

Budgeted production units 20,000 10,000

Departments Cutting Sewing

Budgeted factory overhead $350,000 $400,000

Direct labor hours:

Canopy 40,000 (20,000 * 2) 10,000 (10,000 * 1)

Tent 20,000 (20,000 * 1) 60,000 (10,000 * 6)

Total direct labor hours 60,000 70,000

Overhead allocation rates $5.833 $5.714

($350,000/60,000) ($400,000/70,000)

Overhead per unit $17.50 ($5.833 * 3) $40 ($5.714 * 7)
