X Company has two production departments, A and B. The following is budgeted information for all of its products in 2019, and actual information for one of them, Product X:
Department A All Products Product X
Overhead $4,300,000 --
Direct labor hours 50,000 724
Machine hours 110,000 1,000
Units produced 54,000 590
Department B
Overhead $2,200,000 --
Direct labor hours 60,000 157
Machine hours130,000 880
Units produced 40,000 590
Required:
a. Using a single-driver allocation system, with direct labor hours as the driver, how much overhead was allocated to Product X [round overhead rate(s) to two decimal places]?

Explanation:

Overhead allocated to Product X = Department A overhead cost+ Department B overhead cost

=  $51,157.84+$5755.62=

= $56,913

Calculations:

Using a single-driver allocation system, with direct labor hours as the driver, how much overhead was allocated to Product X:

Department A's Overhead rate per labor hour = Overhead costs/Total direct labor hours  = $4300000/60000 hours = $71.66 per hour

Overhead (Department A) = $71.66per hour*724 labor hours

= $51,157.84

Department B's Overhead rate per labor hour = Overhead costs/Total direct labor hours  = $2200000/60000 hours = $36.66 per hour

Overhead (Department A) = $36.66 per hour*157 labor hours

= $5755.62

b. a single paragraph.

a paragraph is a series of sentences that are organized and make sense, and are all related to a single topic . almost every piece of writing you do that is longer than a few sentences should be organized into paragraphs. this is because paragraphs show a reader where the subdivisions of an essay begin and end, and thus the reader see the organization of the essay into subjects in order to be able to understand its main points.
