Given:
Estimated direct labor hours of 200,700 hrs
Estimated manufacturing overhead costs of $920,500
Actual manufacturing overhead costs of $970,100
Allocated manufacturing overhead is $1,013,000
Find the number of actual direct hours worked in Morgan Corporation?
Determine first the overhead allocation rate by dividing the estimated overhead costs to the estimated direct labor hours: $920,500/200,700 hrs = $4.586 à round to nearest cent $4.60
Next is divide the allocated manufacturing overhead to the overhead allocation rate: $1,013,000/$4.60 = 220,217.39 à round the answer to 220,217
The actual number of direct hours worked is 220,217 hours.
