Question

The total factory overhead for Bardot Marine Company is budgeted for the year at $1,038,750, divided into two departments: Fabrication, $645,000, and Assembly, $393,750. Bardot Marine manufactures two types of boats: speedboats and bass boats. The speedboats require four direct labor hours in Fabrication and three direct labor hours in Assembly. The bass boats require two direct labor hours in Fabrication and four direct labor hours in Assembly. Each product is budgeted for 5,000 units of production for the year.

When required, round all per unit answers to the nearest cent.
a. Determine the total number of budgeted direct labor hours for the year in each department.
Fabrication direct labor hours
Assembly direct labor hours
b. Determine the departmental factory overhead rates for both departments.
Fabrication $ per dlh
Assembly $ per dlh
c. Determine the factory overhead allocated per unit for each product using the department factory overhead allocation rates.
Speedboat: $ per unit
Bass boat: $ per unit

Answer 1

Instructions are below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Fabrication, $645,000

Assembly, $393,750.

Speedboats:

Fabrication Direct labor hours= 4

Assembly Direct labor hours= 3

Bassboats:

Fabrication Direct labor hours= 2

Assembly Direct labor hours= 4

Each product is budgeted for 5,000 units of production for the year.

First, we need to calculate the budgeted direct labor hours:

Fabrication= 4*5,000 + 2*5,000= 30,000

Assembly= 3*5,000 + 4*5,000= 35,000

Now, we can determine the predetermined overhead rate using the following formula:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Fabrication= 645,000/30,000= $21.5 per direct labor hour

Assembly= 393,750/35,000= $11.25 per direct labor hour

Finally, we can allocate overhead to each product:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Speedboat= 4*21.5 + 3*11.25= $119.75

Bassboat= 2*21.5 + 4*11.25= $88
