Apple Valley applies manufacturing overhead costs to jobs on the basis of direct manufacturing labor cost using departmental rates determined at the beginning of the year.

For Department A, the manufacturing overhead allocation rate is: _________
For Department B, the manufacturing overhead allocation rate is: _________
Manufacturing overhead costs allocated to Job #432 total: _________

Answer 1

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

1. manufacturing overhead allocation rate for department A

= (Manufacturing overhead department A/Manufacturing direct labor department A) × 100

= ($400,000/$200,000) × 100

= 200%

2. Overhead allocation rate for department B

= ($500,000/$200,000) × 100

= 250%

3. Manufacturing overhead cost allocated to job #432.

($11,000 × $400,000)/$200,000 + ($7,000 × $500,000)/$200,000

= $22,000 + $17,500

= $39,500
