Explanation:

Overhead costs allocation based on Direct Labor Cost

Indirect Labor                                                                        $ 5,400

Supplies                                                                                 $ 2,600    

Costs allocation based on direct labor costs                   $ 8,000  

Overhead costs allocation based on Machine Hours

Rent and utilities                                                                    $ 12,200

General Office expense                                                         $ 4,000

Depreciation Equipment                                                        $ 3,000

Cost allocation based on machine hours                           $ 19,200          

                                                     Direct Labor                  Machine Use Hours                

Department 1                                 $ 18,800                              2,000              

Department 2                                $ 13,200                               1,200  

Total company                               $ 32,000                             3,200

Department 1 % to total costs          

= $ 18,800/ $ 32,000 =                       58.75 %

2000 hours / 3,200 hours                                                         62.50 %

Total Overhead costs allocated to Department 1

$ 8,000 * 58.75 %                                                                  $    4,700

$ 19,200 * 62.5 %                                                                    $ 12,000

Total Overhead cost for Department 1                                  $ 16,700
