    Costs allocation based on direct labor costs $ 8,000

    Overhead costs allocation based on Machine Hours

    General Office expense $ 4,000

    Depreciation Equipment $ 3,000

    Total Overhead costs allocated to Department 1

    $ 8,000 * 58.75 % $ 4,700

    $ 19,200 * 62.5 % $ 12,000

    Total Overhead cost for Department 1 $ 16,700
