compare the sum of the pool of budgeted overhead costs associated

to the budgeted material costs to produce a rate that is applied to
the cost of materials. The departments associated with the cost of
Overhead Allocation to materials are purchasing, sourcing,
inventory control and quality control. For purposes of reference
relative to reasonableness of any future changes to Overhead
Allocation to materials, the current Overhead Allocation to
materials is 0.078 times cost of material. Licensee’s
methodology for calculating Overhead Allocation to direct labor
shall be to add the sum of the pool of budgeted overhead costs
associated with product manufacturing to the cost of direct labor
as follows. The budgeted sum of such overhead costs is divided by
the budgeted direct labor
Page 3 of 14
hours to produce an overhead rate. This rate is
then compared to the direct labor rate of each department and a
percentage per department is developed. The departments involved in
the Overhead Allocation to direct labor are the machine shop,
fabrication, welding, paint, assembly, maintenance, plant facility,
safety, environmental, manufacturing engineering, and production
office and management. For purposes of reference relative to
reasonableness of any future changes to Overhead Allocation to
direct labor, the current average Overhead Allocation to direct
labor is $36.63 per hour.
