Explanation / Answer

2 Product A: Labor ralated 8100 =21840/1820*675 Purchase orders 140 =980/490*70 Product testing 3510 =5330/410*270 Template etching 0 =2040/85*0 General factory 17000 =57000/11400*3400 Total overhead cost 28750 Product B: Labor ralated 1740 =21840/1820*145 Purchase orders 220 =980/490*110 Product testing 780 =5330/410*60 Template etching 1608 =2040/85*67 General factory 15000 =57000/11400*3000 Total overhead cost 19348 Product C: Labor ralated 6000 =21840/1820*500 Purchase orders 380 =980/490*190 Product testing 0 =5330/410*0 Template etching 360 =2040/85*15 General factory 10000 =57000/11400*2000 Total overhead cost 16740 Product D: Labor ralated 6000 =21840/1820*500 Purchase orders 240 =980/490*120 Product testing 1040 =5330/410*80 Template etching 72 =2040/85*3 General factory 15000 =57000/11400*3000 Total overhead cost 22352 Total overhead cost Product A 28750 Product B 19348 Product C 16740 Product D 22352
