   Direct Method and Overhead Rates

   Belami Company manufactures both shampoo and conditioner, with each product manufactured in separate departments. Three support departments support the production departments: Power, General Factory, and Purchasing. Budgeted data on the five departments are as follows:

   	Support Departments			Producing Departments
   	Power	General Factory	Purchasing	Shampoo	Conditioner
   Overhead	$94,000	$430,000	$150,000	$146,000	$170,000
   Square feet	3,000		3,000	9,600	8,400
   Machine hours		1,403	1,345	8,000	24,000
   Purchase orders	20	40	7	60	120

   The company does not break overhead into fixed and variable components. The bases for allocation are powermachine hours; general factorysquare feet; and purchasingpurchase orders.

   Required:

   1. Allocate the overhead costs to the producing departments using the direct method. If required, round your allocation ratios to four decimal places and round allocated costs to the nearest dollar and use the rounded values for the subsequent calculations.

   2. Using machine hours, compute departmental overhead rates. (Round the overhead rates to the nearest cent.)
