Kudzu Company sells two products Big X and Little X. Current direct material and direct labor costs are detailed below. Next year, the company wishes to use a plantwide overhead rate with direct labor hours as its allocation base. Next year's overhead is estimated to be $525,000. The direct labor and direct materials costs are estimated to be consistent with the current year. Direct labor costs $20 per hour and the company expects to manufacture 16,000 units of Big X and 18,000 units of Little X next year.
-Kudzu has 34,000 total estimated direct labor hours for next year.
Direct labor hours per unit of Big X = $20/$20 = 1 DLH
Direct labor hours per unit of Little X = $10/$20 = .5 DLH
Estimated direct labor hours = (1 x 16,000) + (.5 x 18,000) = 25,000 direct labor hours
