During this time, the company also expects to produce 1,000,000 units, have 200,000 direct labor hours, and 800,000 machine hours.Make the following independent calculations.a. Compute a plantwide overhead rate using units of production as the allocation base.b. Compute a plantwide overhead rate using direct labor hours as the allocation base.c. Compute a plantwide overhead rate using machine hours as the allocation base.    

a. $400,000/1,000,000 units = $0.40 per unit of product b. $400,000/200,000 direct labor hours = $2 per DLH c. $400,000/800,000 machine hours = $0.50 per MH
