Rawlings Corp. has two product lines, A and B. Rawlings has identified the following information about its overhead and potential cost drivers.
 


  Total overhead
$80,000  
  Cost drivers

      Number of labor hours
2,700  
      Number of machine hours
50,000  


 
Requirement 1:
Suppose the Rawlings Corp. uses a traditional costing system with number of labor hours as the cost driver. Determine the amount of overhead assigned to each product line if Product A requires 62% of the labor hours and Product B requires 38%. (Round your answers to the nearest dollar amount. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
 

Overhead assigned
  Product A
$ 49,600 correct       
  Product B
$ 30,400 correct       


 
Requirement 2:
Suppose Rawlings uses a traditional costing system with machine hours as the cost driver. Determine the amount of overhead assigned to each product line if Product A consumes 17,700 machine hours and Product B consumes 32,300. (Round intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places and your final answers to the nearest whole dollar amount. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
 

Overhead assigned
  Product A
$ 28,320 correct       
  Product B
$ 51,680 correct       
Explanation:
 1:
 Product A:  $80,000 × 62% = $49,600
 Product B:  $80,000 × 38% = $30,400

 2:
 $80,000 / 50,000 Machine Hrs = $1.6 per machine hr.

 Product A:  17,700 × $1.6 = $28,320
 Product B:  32,300 × $1.6 = $51,680
