a.$15.07 per unit

Explanation:

Using a single plantwide overhead rate based on direct labor hours each product is assigned $15.07 of overhead per unit.

Plantwide overhead rate = Total Budgeted Overhead / Total Budgeted Direct Labor Hours

Plantwide overhead rate = $320,900 / 21,300 = $ 15.065 = $ 15.07

Overhead Total Direct Labor Hours DLH per Product A B

Painting Dept. $255,200 10,100 3 11

Finishing Dept. 65,700 11,200 6 7

Totals $320,900 21,300 9 1
