  1,010 DL hours
570 DL hours

Requirement 1:
Suppose Matson used a traditional costing system with direct labor hours as the cost driver. Determine the amount of overhead assigned to each product line. (Round activity rates and final answers to 2 decimal places. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
 

Overhead assigned
  Standard Floor Mat
$ 14,470.10 correct        
  Deluxe Floor Mat
$ 11,169.90  correct        


 
Requirement 2:
Suppose Matson used a traditional costing system with machine hours as the cost driver. Determine the amount of overhead assigned to each product line. (Round activity rates to 4 decimal places and final answers to 2 decimal places. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
 

Overhead assigned
  Standard Floor Mat
$ 10,836.39  correct       
  Deluxe Floor Mat
$ 14,803.61  correct       
Explanation:
1:
$25,640 / 1,010 labor hrs = $25.39/LH

Standard Floor Mat:  570 × $25.39 = $14,472.30
Deluxe Floor Mat:     440 × $25.39 = $11,171.60

2:
$25,640 / 6,980 machine hrs = $3.6734/MH

Standard Floor Mat:  2,950 × $3.6734 = $10,836.53
Deluxe Floor Mat:  4,030 × $3.6734 = $14,803.80
