Answer 1

Instructions are listed below

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Estimates:

Direct labor-hours required to support estimated output 18,000.

Fixed overhead costs $ 198,000.

Variable overhead cost per direct labor-hour $ 1.00

A) overhead rate= (fixed + variable cost)/direct labor hour

Overhead rate= (198000 + 1*18000)/18000= 12

B) Direct materials $ 719

Direct labor cost $ 177

Direct labor-hours used 7

Manufacturing overhead= $1* 7= $7
