| Direct labor-dollars to support all productions | $ | 8,390,000 |
| Fixed overhead cost | $ | 5,034,000 |
| Variable overhead cost per direct labor-dollar | $ | 0.19 |
Solution
Answer to Requirement 1.
Predetermined Overhead Rate = Estimated Manufacturing overhead / Estimated DL Dollar
Estimated Manufacturing overhead = Fixed Manufacturing Overhead + Variable Manufacturing Overhead
Estimated Manufacturing overhead = $5,034,000 + (8,390,000 * $0.19)
Estimated Manufacturing overhead = $5,034,000 + $1,594,100
Estimated Manufacturing overhead = $6,628,100
Predetermined Overhead Rate = 6,628,100 / 8,390,000
Predetermined Overhead Rate = $0.79 per DL $
Answer to Requirement 2.
Total Job Cost = Direct Materials + Direct Labor + Overhead applied
Overhead applied = $0.79 * 2,517,000
Overhead applied = $1,988,430
Total Job Cost = $1,446,000 + $2,517,000 + $1,988,430
Total Job Cost = $5,951,430
