In Department A, overhead is applied on the basis of machine-hours, and in Department B, on the basis of direct labor hours. At the beginning of the current year, management made the following budget estimated as a step toward determining the overhead application rates:

Direct labor hours………    28,000    25,000

 

Production of 4,000 tachometers (job no. 399) was started in the middle of January and completed two weeks later. The cost records for this job show the following information:

 

                                                            Department ADepartment B
