Question

Ashe Corporation has two manufacturing departments—Machining and Customizing. Based on the given data and using departmental predetermined overhead rates with machine-hours as the allocation base, what is the closest amount of manufacturing overhead applied to Job K during the most recent month?

A) $11,910.00
B) $12,900.00
C) $13,270.00
D) $14,700.00

Answer 1

The provided data is not sufficient to calculate the manufacturing overhead applied to Job K, as specific overhead rates and machine-hours for Job K are missing.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's question asks for the amount of manufacturing overhead applied to Job K based on the predetermined overhead rates with machine-hours as the allocation base. However, the provided data is insufficient to accurately calculate the overhead applied to Job K. The data given in the question relates to various costs and wage rates but does not provide the specific overhead rates or the machine-hours for Job K. To calculate the overhead applied to Job K, we would need to know the overhead rate for each department and the number of machine hours used by Job K in each department.

In a typical situation, to find the overhead applied, we would multiply the machine hours used by Job K in a department by the department's predetermined overhead rate. For example, if the machining department has an overhead rate of $30 per machine hour and Job K used 10 machine hours, the overhead applied from the machining department would be $300.
