107. The Anazi Leather Company manufactures leather handbags (H) and moccasins (M). The company has been using the factory overhead rate method but has decided to evaluate the multiple production department factory overhead rate to allocate factory overhead. The factory overhead estimated per unit together with direct materials and direct labor will help determine selling prices. Handbags = 60,000 units, 3 hours of direct laborMoccasins= 40,000 units, 2 hours of direct laborTotal Budgeted factory overhead cost = $360,000The company has two different production departments: Cutting and Sewing. The cutting department has a factory overhead budget of $80,000. Each unit will require 1 direct labor hour or a total of 100,000 direct labor hours.The Sewing Departments estimates factory overhead in the amount of $280,000. Handbags require 2 hours of sewing time and Moccasins require 1 hour for a total of 160,000 labor hours. Calculate the total factory overhead to be allocated to each product using direct labor hours.
