Amherst Metal Works produces two types of metal lamps. Amherst manufactures 20,000 basic lamps and 5,000 designer lamps. Its simple costing system uses a single Indirect-cost pool and allocates costs to the two lamps on the basis of cirect manufacturing labor-hours. It provldes the following budgeted cost Information: Calculate the total budgeted costs of the basic and designer lamps using Amherst's simple costing system. Begin by Calculating the budgeted indirect cost rate for the single indirect cost pool. First select the formula, then enter the applicable amounts and calculate the rate Abbreviations used: MOH = Manufacturing Overhead Budgeted indirect manufacturing costs Budgeted manufacturing labor hours- Budgeted MOH rate per manutacturing labor-hour 234,000 13,000 S 18 Now calculate the total budgeted costs and per unit costs of the basic and designer lamps using Amherst's simple costing system. (Round all per unit amounts to two decimal places.] Basic lamps Total Per unit Direct materials Direct manufacturing labor Total direct costs Indirect costs allocated Total costs 180,000 $ 200,000 380,000 9.00 10.00 19.00

Budgeting is the act of estimating a company's future income and expenditures that goes out from paying expense over a set period of time.

Total Budgeted Costs = $ 450,000

Total Costs 515,000

SOLUTION:-

Manufacturing Overhead Budgeted 234,000

Budgeted manufacturing labor hours 13,000

Budgeted MOH rate per manufacturing labor-hour = 234,000/13,000= $ 18

Basic lamps 20,000 units

Total Budgeted Costs = 18*20,000= 360,000
