Kearney Inc. has a factory with the following characteristics: direct labor of $82056, direct materials of $52432 fixed overhead of $156141, variable overhead of $146362, 11453 units produced, and 408 shipments made. One of its products is LQ6. LQ6 used 162 hours of labor. The factory made 1272 units of LQ6 at a materials cost of $3.36 per unit. LQ6 also requires 56 shipments. All of the factory's labor costs $27 per hour. Kearney's cost allocation system uses two cost pools. Pool A includes all variable overhead and uses direct labor as the allocation base. Pool B includes all fixed overhead and uses direct materials as the allocation base. How much cost from Pool A is allocated to LQ6? (round to whole number of $)

The amount of cost from Pool A that is allocated to LQ6 is $7,802.

Explanation:

Since Pool A includes all variable overhead and uses direct labor as the allocation base, we can obtain the following from the question:

Direct labor = $82,056

Variable overhead = $146,362

Number of labor hours used by LQ6 = 162

Factory's labor costs per hour = $27

Therefore, we have:

Factory's labor cost of LQ6 = Number of labor hours used by LQ6 * Factory's labor costs per hour = 162 * $27 = $4,374

Variable over allocated to LQ6 from Pool A = (Factory's labor cost of LQ6 / Direct labor) * Variable overhead = ($4,374 / $82,056) * $146,362 = $7,801.83518572682

Rounding to whole number of $ as required, we have:

Variable over allocated to LQ6 from Pool A = $7,802

Therefore, the amount of cost from Pool A that is allocated to LQ6 is $7,802.
