1. Compute a single plantwide overhead rate for the year, assuming that the company assigns overhead based on 125,000 budgeted direct labor hours. 2. In January of this year, the Deluxe model required 2,500 direct labor hours and the basic model required 6,000 direct labor hours. Assign overhead costs to each model using the single plantwide overhead rate.

a. $17.44 per hour

b. $43,600 ; $104,640

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. Single plantwide overhead rate equals to

= Total Overhead Amount ÷ Budgeted Direct Labor Hours

where,

Total overhead amount is

= $625,000 + $900,000 + $105,000 + $175,000 + $300,000 + $75,000

= $2,180,000

And, the budgeted direct labor hours is 125,000

So, the overhead rate is

= $2,180,000 ÷ 125,000

= $17.44 per hour

2. Now the overhead cost is

For Deluxe model

= 2,500 direct labor hours × $17.44 per hour

= $43,600

For basic model

= 6,000 direct labor hours × $17.44 per hour

= $104,640
