Answer:

Rings Total overhead cost per unit is 48.03

Step-by-step explanation:

Fabrication department :

Estimated machine hour = (970 * 5 + 2330 * 7)

=4850 + 16310

= 21,160 machine hour

Overhead cost per machine hour = 87,000/21,160

= 4.11 per hour

Assembly Department :

Estimated Labour hour = (970 * 6 + 2330 * 4)

=5,820 + 9,320

= 15,140

Estimated overhead cost per hour = 69,400/15,140

= 4.58 per hour

CALCULATE RING OVERHEAD COST PER UNIT :

Fabrication department = 4.11 * 5 = 20.55

Assembly department = 4.58 * 6 = 27.48

Total overhead cost per unit = 48.03
