The entire expense of running all production facilities for a manufacturing company that cannot be precisely linked to a specific product is known as factory overhead. Indirect labor and indirect costs are typically affected.
The factory overhead allocated per unit of Product B in the Painting Department is calculated as:-
              Overhead   Labor Hours
               A        B       A    B
Painting Dept. $248,000 Â $10,000 Â Â Â 16 Â Â Â 4
Finishing Dept. Â $72,000 Â $10,000 Â Â Â 4 Â Â 16
Total          $320,000  $20,000   20   20
Calculation for plantwide overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= Total estimated overhead costs for the period/ Total amount of allocation base
= 320,000 / 20,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $16 per direct labor hour
Allocated factory overhead = Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
= 16*4
= $64.00 per unit
Therefore, the factory overhead allocated per unit of Product B in the Painting Department is $64.00 per unit
