The ramapo company produces two products, blinks and dinks. they are manufactured in two departments, fabrication and assembly. data for the products and departments are listed below. product number of units labor hours per unit machine hours per unit blinks 1,013 4 4 dinks 1,859 5 7 all of the machine hours take place in the fabrication department, which has an estimated overhead of $90,500. all of the labor hours take place in the assembly department, which has an estimated total overhead of $109,700. the ramapo company uses a single overhead rate to apply all overhead costs based on labor hours. what is the overhead cost per unit for blinks

$60 per unit

Explanation:

Total overheads:

= Overheads of fabrication department + Overheads of assembly department

= $90,500 + $109,700

= $200,200

Total labor hours:

= Blinks + Dinks

= (1,013 × 4) +  (1,859 × 5)

= 4,052 + 9,295

= 13,347

Overhead rate per hour = Total overheads ÷ Total labor hours

                                        = $200,200 ÷ 13,347

                                        = $15 per hour

Total overhead cost for blinks:

= Total hours for blinks × rate per hour

= 4,052 × $15 per hour

= $60,780

Overhead cost per unit for Blinks:

= Total overhead cost for blinks ÷ Total units

= $60,780 ÷ 1,013

= $60 per unit
