Question

Multiple Production Department Factory Overhead Rate Method Handy Leather, Inc., produces three sizes of sports gloves: small, medium, and large. A glove pattern is first stenciled onto leather in the Pattern Department. The stenciled patterns are then sent to the Cut and Sew Department, where the glove is cut and sewed together. Handy Leather uses the multiple production department factory overhead rate method of allocating factory overhead costs. Its factory overhead costs were budgeted as follows: Pattern Department overhead $142,600 Cut and Sew Department overhead 237,800 Total $380,400 The direct labor estimated for each production department was as follows: Pattern Department 2,300 direct labor hours Cut and Sew Department 2,900 Total 5,200 direct labor hours Direct labor hours are used to allocate the production department overhead to the products. The direct labor hours per unit for each product for each production department were obtained from the engineering records as follows: Production Departments Small Glove Medium Glove Large Glove Pattern Department 0.04 0.05 0.06 Cut and Sew Department 0.07 0.09 0.11 Direct labor hours per unit 0.11 0.14 0.17 If required, round all per unit answers to the nearest cent. a. Determine the two production department factory overhead rates. Pattern Department $ per dih Cut and Sew Department $ per dih

Answer 1

Answer a

Pattern department	$ 62	per DLH
Cut and sew department	$ 82	per DLH

Answer b

Small Glove	$   8.22	per unit
Medium Glove	$ 10.48	per unit
Large Glove	$ 12.74	per unit
