The company based its predetermined overhead rate for the current year on the following data: Total direct labor-hours Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost Variable manufacturing overhead per direct labor-hour$ 6.80 67,000 $227,800 Recently, Job P951 was completed with the following characteristics Number of units in the job Total direct labor-hours Direct materials Direct labor cost 25 100 $ 660 $6,700 The total job cost for Job P951 is closest to: (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)
Solution
Predetermined overhead rate
= Budgeted overhead / Budgeted labor hours
= $227,800 / 67,000
= $3.4 per direct labor hour
Calculations
C – Variable overhead
= Variable overhead rate x Number of labor hours
= $6 x 100
= $600
D – Fixed overhead
= Fixed overhead rate x Number of labor hours
= $3.40 x 100
= $340
| Calculations | Particulars | Amount $ |
| A | Direct materials | 660 |
| B | Direct labor | 6,700 |
| C | Variable overhead | 600 |
| D | Fixed Overhead | 340 |
| E = Sum A to D | Total Job Cost | 8,300 |
