Koehler (see Exercise E24-14) makes handheld calculators in two models-basic and professional-and wants to refine its costing system by allocating overhead using departmental rates. The estimated $721,000 of manufacturing overhead has been divided into two cost pools: Assembly Department and Packaging Department. The following data have been compiled:

Packaging Department Assembly Department Total $ 264,500 $ 721,000 $ 456,500 Overhead costs Machine hours: Basic Model 1

Compute the predetermined overhead allocation rates using machine hours as the allocation base for the Assembly Department and direct labor hours for the Packaging Department. How much overhead is allocated to the basic model? To the professional model? Round allocation rates to two decimal places and allocated costs to whole dollars.
