Exercise 7.24 Sequential Method

Eilers Company has two producing departments and two support departments. The following budgeted data pertain to these four departments:

The support departments are ranked in order of highest cost to lowest cost.

Required:

Allocation ratios:

	Receiving	Assembly	Finishing
Square footage
Number of receiving orders

Allocations:

	General Factory	Receiving	Assembly	Finishing
Direct overhead cost	$	$	$	$
Allocate:
General Factory
Receiving
Total	$	$	$	$

	Overhead Rate
Assembly	per direct labor hour
Finishing	per direct labor hour
