    Product 1 $100

    Product 2 $200

    Explanation:

    Indirect production costs are those costs which is not directly attributable to specific product / service. These costs are other than the direct material and direct labor cost.

    First of all we will calculate the Indirect overhead allocation rate per machine hour.

    Indirect production cost allocation rate = Indirect production cost / Level of Production

    Indirect production cost allocation rate = $100,000 / 10,000 machine hours = $10 per machine hour

    Now we will allocate this cost to each unit

    Indirect production cost = Indirect production cost allocation rate x Numbers of hours per unit

    Product 1 = $10 per machine hour x 10 machine hours per unit = $100 per unit

    Product 2 = $10 per machine hour x 20 machine hours per unit = $200 per unit
