Adirondack Marketing Inc. manufactures two products, A and B. Presently, the company uses a single plantwide factory overhead rate for allocating overhead to products. However, management is considering moving to a multiple department rate system for allocating overhead.

The factory overhead allocated per unit of Product A in the Painting Department is $ .

Given,

Overhead Total direct DLH per product

Labour Hours A B

Painting dept. $241000 10500 8 11

Finishing dept. $69700 10500 5 6

Totals $311400 21000 13 17

Single overhead rate per hour = total overheads/ total labor hours

Now, substituting the values in the formula

Single overhead rate per hour = 311400/21000

= $14.83 per labor hour

Now, direct labor hours for product A for the Painting department = 16 hours

Overhead rate per unit of product A in the painting department = 16 hours × $14.83 per hour

Overhead rate = $237.28 per unit

Thus, Adirondak Marketing Inc. would allocate $237.28 to the painting department for 1 unit of Product A.
