Overhead	$570,000	$130,000	$700,000
Direct Labor Hours	142,500 hrs.	32,500 hrs.	175,000 hrs.
Machine Hours	32,000 hrs.	65,000 hrs.	97,000 hrs.

Mitchell uses departmental overhead rates. In the assembly department, direct labor hours are used to apply overhead. Machine hours are used to apply overhead in the testing department. Actual data for August is as follows:

Overhead	$42,000	$12,000	$54,000
Direct Labor Hours	13,500 hrs.	2,430 hrs.	15,930 hrs.
Machine Hours	4,020 hrs.	11,000 hrs.	15,020 hrs.
