Explanation

Computation of Departmental Overhead Rate for Machining Department:    
           
Overhead rate Total overhead/Estimated machine hours  
Overhead rate 800000/(350000+50000)    
Overhead rate 800000/400000      
Overhead rate $2.00  per machine hour    
           
Computation of Departmental Overhead Rate for Finishing Department:    
           
Overhead rate Total overhead/Estimated machine hours  
  100000/(19000+61000)      
  100000/80000      
Overhead rate $1.25  per direct labor hour    
           
Computation of Manufacturing Overhead allocated to Trail running shoes:      
Machining department $704,000  352000*$2    
Finishing department $23,125  18500*$1.25      
Total Costs Allocated $727,125         
           
Thus, total manufacturing overhead allocated to trail running shoes is $727,125.
