Widgets, Inc., plans to produce 8,000 widgets during the upcoming year. Each widget requires four direct labor hours at $25 per hour and $110 in direct material costs. Manufacturing overhead is assigned based on direct labor hours and is estimated to be $625,000 for the upcoming year. Compute the predetermined overhead rate per direct labor hour.

Larson Productions LLC has an activity cost pool called product design and redevelopment. The cost driver for this pool is design hours. A total of 1,000 design hours were used, 620 for Model XLT and 380 for Model TXT. The total cost assigned to the cost pool was $118,000. Using the activity proportion method, determine how much cost should be allocated to each product.

$73,160 to Model XLT and $44,840 to Model TXT Rationale: 620/1000 = 62% to Model XLT and 380/1000 = 38% to TXT
