Question

Operating at a normal level of 28,000 direct labor-hours, Lasser Company produces 14,000 units of product each year. The direct labor wage rate is $11.00 per hour. Two and one-half yards of direct materials go into each unit of product; the material costs $9.4 per yard. Variable manufacturing overhead should be $2.40 per standard direct labor-hour. Fixed manufacturing overhead should be $151,200 per period.

Using 28,000 direct labor-hours as the denominator activity, compute the predetermined overhead rate and break it down into variable and fixed elements. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

Complete the standard cost card below for one unit of product: (Round your intermediate calculations and final answers to 2 decimal places.)

Fixed manufacturing overhead should be $151,200 per period.

Explanation / Answer

Predetermined overhead rate = $151,200/28,000

                                               = $5.40

total overhead rate                = $5.40 + $2.40 = $7.80 per unit

Variable element                   = $2.40 per hour

Fixed element                        = $5.40 per hour
