The management of Firebolt Industries Inc. manufactures gasoline and diesel engines through two production departments, Fabrication and Assembly. Management needs accurate product cost information in order to guide product strategy. Presently, the company uses a single plantwide factory overhead rate for allocating factory overhead to the two products. However, management is considering the multiple production department factory overhead rate method. The following factory overhead was budgeted for Firebolt:
| 1 | Fabrication Department factory overhead | $636,650.00 |
| 2 | Assembly Department factory overhead | 243,000.00 |
| 3 | Total | $879,650.00 |
Direct labor hours were estimated as follows:
| Fabrication Department | 5,350 | hours |
| Assembly Department | 5,400 | |
| Total | 10,750 | hours |
In addition, the direct labor hours (dlh) used to produce a unit of each product in each department were determined from engineering records, as follows:
| Production Departments | Gasoline Engine | Diesel Engine |
| Fabrication Department | 2.9 dlh | 1.9 dlh |
| Assembly Department | 1.9 | 2.9 |
| Direct labor hours per unit | 4.8 dlh | 4.8 dlh |

The single plantwide factory overhead rate is $52 perdirect labor hour. The company implements activity-based costingusing four different activity bases, including direct labor hours(and three others). What can be said about the direct labor rateunder activity-based costing relative to the single plantwiderate?
| The direct labor rate under activity-based costing will beequal to $52 per direct labor hour. |
| The direct labor rate under activity-based costing cannot becompared meaningfully to the $52 per direct labor hour rate. |
| The direct labor rate under activity-based costing must be lessthan $52 per direct labor hour. |
| The direct labor rate under activity-based costing must begreater than $52 per direct labor hour. |
The Nite Lite Factory produces two products - smalllamps and desk lamps. It has two separate departments - finishingand production. The overhead budget for the finishing department is$550,000, using 500,000 direct labor hours. The overhead budget forthe production department is $400,000 using 80,000 direct laborhours. If the budget estimates that a desk lamp will require 1hours of finishing and 2 hours of production, how much factoryoverhead will be allocated to each unit of desk lamps using themultiple production department factory overhead rate method with anallocation base of direct labor hours?
