The Kaumajet Factory produces two products-table lamps and desk lamps. It has two separate departments-Finishing and
Production. The overhead budget for the Finishing Department is $550,000, using 500,000 direct labor hours. The overhead
budget for the Production Department is $400,000 using 80,000 direct labor hours.
If the budget estimates that a table lamp will require 2 hours of finishing and 1 hour of production, how much factory
overhead will the Kaumajet Factory allocate to each table lamp using the multiple production department factory overhead
rate method with an allocation base of direct labor hours?

preparing its annual profit plan. As part of its analysis of the profitability of individual products, the controller estimates the
amount of overhead that should be allocated to the individual product lines from the following information.
Lenses
Mirrors
Units produced
Material moves per product line 5
Direct-labor hours per unit
The total budgeted material-handling cost is 50,000
Required:
1. Under a costing system that allocates overhead on the basis of direct-labor hours, the material-handling costs
allocated to one lens would be what amount?
2. Answer the same question as in requirement 1), but for mirrors
3. Under activity-based costing(ABC), the material-handling costs allocated to one lens would be what amount? The
cost driver for the material-handling activity is the number of material moves
