Night Lights $ per unit Desk Lamps $ per unit

Answer 1

Night Lights $ per unit 2.13

Desk Lamps $ per unit 8.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Determine total number of budgeted direct labour hours for the year

total number of budgeted direct labor hours for the year is calculated

= night lamp labor hours + desk lamp labor hours

= ( 60000 * 1/2 ) + ( 80000 * 2 )

= 30000 + 160000

= 190000

calculated the single plant wide factory overhead rate

factory overhead rate = total factory overhead / total number of budgeted unit

= 807500 / 190000

= 4.25 per labour hour

calculate factory overhead cost per each unit

night lamp = 4.25 * 1/2

= 2.13 per unit

desk lamp = 4.25 * 2

= 8.50 per unit
