Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost $400,000
Variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour $6
Recently, Job D168 was completed with the following characteristics:
Number of units in the job 40
Total machine-hours 100
Direct materials $750
Direct labor cost $2,750
If the company marks up its unit product costs by 60% then the selling price for a unit in Job D168 is closest to:____.
a. $2,505.
b. $3,025.
c. $1,185.
d. $2,360.

Answer 1

Selling price per unit= $196

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (400,000 / 50,000) + 6

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $14 per machine hour

Now, we can allocate overhead and calculate the total cost:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated MOH= 14*100= $1,400

Total cost= 1,400 + 750 + 2,750

Total cost= $4,900

Finally, the selling price per unit:

Unitary cost= 4,900/40= $122.5

Selling price= 122.5*1.6

Selling price= $196
