Answer:

The correct answer is "False".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Indirect labor,

= $1,600,000

Factory utilities,

= $400,000

Direct labor hours,

= $50,000

Now,

The plantwide overhead rate will be:

= [tex]\frac{Indirect \ labor +Factory \ utilities}{Direct \ labor \ hours}[/tex]

On substituting the values, we get

= [tex]\frac{1,600,000+400,000}{50,000}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{2,000,000}{50,000}[/tex]

= [tex]40[/tex] ($) direct labor per hour

Thus the above is the right response.
