    Overhead allocated to Product X = Department A overhead cost + Department B overhead cost

    = $51,157.84+$5755.62=

    = $56,913

    Calculations:

    Using a single-driver allocation system, with direct labor hours as the driver, how much overhead was allocated to Product X:

    Department A's Overhead rate per labor hour = Overhead costs/Total direct labor hours = $4300000/60000 hours = $71.66 per hour

    Overhead (Department A) = $71.66per hour*724 labor hours

    = $51,157.84

    Department B's Overhead rate per labor hour = Overhead costs/Total direct labor hours = $2200000/60000 hours = $36.66 per hour

    Overhead (Department A) = $36.66 per hour*157 labor hours

    = $5755.62
