Multiple production department factory overhead rate method Home & Farm Glove Company produces three types of gloves: small, medium, and large. A glove pattern is first stenciled onto leather in the Pattern Department. The stenciled patterns are then sent to the Cut and Sew Department, where the final glove is cut and sewn together. Home & Farm uses the multiple production department factory overhead rate method of allocating factory overhead costs. Its factory overhead costs were budgeted as follows:

Pattern Department overhead ......................$106,000

Cut and Sew Department overhead ..............175,000

Total ............................................................$281,000

The direct labor estimated for each production department was as follows:

Pattern Department.........................................2,000direct labor hours

Cut and Sew Department.......... 2,500

Total...............................................................4,500 direct labor hours

Direct labor hours are used to allocate the production department overhead to the products. The direct labor hours per unit for each product for each production department were obtained from the engineering records as follows:

If required, round all per unit answers to nearest cent.
a. Determine the two production department factory overhead rates

b. Use the two production department factory overhead rates to determine the factory overhead per unit for each product.
