Multiple Choice Question 71 Boswell Company manufactures two products, Regular and Supreme. Boswell’s overhead costs consist of machining, $5000000; and assembling, $2500000. Information on the two products is: Regular Supreme Direct labor hours 10000 15000 Machine hours 10000 30000 Number of parts 90000 160000 Overhead applied to Supreme using activity-based costing isa. $2,700,000.
b. $3,210,000.
c. $1,290,000.
d. $1,800,000.

Allocated MOH=  $5,250,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Overhead costs:

Machining = $5,000,000

Assembling= $2,500,000

Regular:

Direct labor hours= 10,000

Machine hours= 10,000

Number of parts= 90,000

Supreme:

Direct labor hours= 15,000

Machine hours= 30,000

Number of parts= 160,000

First, we need to calculate the estimated overhead rate for each department. For Machining, we will use the machine hours. For Assembling, we will use the direct labor hours.

To calculate the estimated manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Machining:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 5,000,000/ (10,000 + 30,000)= $125 per machine hour

Assembling:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate=  2,500,000/(25,000)= $100 per direct labor hour

Now, we can allocate overhead to supreme.

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated MOH= (125*30,000) + (100*15,000)= $5,250,000
