Indirect materials 35,400
Selling expenses 25,000
Administrative expenses 18,000
Total costs $196,000

Factory overhead is allocated to the three products on the basis of processing hours. The products had the following production budget and processing hours per case:

Budgeted Volume (Cases) Processing Hours Per Case
Tortilla chips 4,000 0.20
Potato chips 5,000 0.15
Pretzels 2,500 0.40
Total 11,500

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the total number of hours:

Tortilla chips= 4,000*0.20= 800

Potato chips= 5,000*0.15= 750

Pretzels= 2,500*0.40= 1,000

Total number of hours= 2,550

Now, we need to calculate the plant-wide manufacturing overhead:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 196,000 / 2,550

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $76.86 per hour

Finally, the total and unitary overhead per case:

Tortilla chips= 800*76.86= $61,488

Potato chips= 750*76.86= $57,645

Pretzels= 1,000*76.86= $76,860

Unitary:

Tortilla chips= 61,488 / 4,000= $15.372

Potato chips= 57,645 /5,000= $11.53

Pretzels= 76,860 / 2,500= $30.744
