Production workers for Chadwick Manufacturing Company provided 3,200 hours of labor in January and 2,800 hours in February. The
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

The insurance cost should be allocated to the products made in January and to those made in February is $8,000 and $7,000 respectively.

Explanation:

For computing the allocated insurance cost, first, we have to compute the per labor rate which is shown below:

Per labor rate = (Annual premium) ÷ (Labor hours)

                       = ($120,000) ÷ (48,000 hours)

                       = $2.5

Now the insurance cost would be

For January = Labor rate per hour × number of labor hours\

                    = 3,200 hours × $2.5

                    = $8,000

For February = Labor rate per hour × number of labor hours

                      = 2,800 hours × $2.5

                      = $7,000
