Total machine-hours 30,900 Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 154,500 Variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour $ 3
Recently, Job T687 was completed with the following characteristics:
Number of units in the job 10 Total machine-hours 30 rect materials $740 Direct labor cost $1,480
The amount of overhead applied to Job T687 is closest to: (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)
a. $240.00
b. $154.50
c. $48.00
d. $338.40

Answer 1

a. $240.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Total variable overhead estimated = $3 * 30,900

Total variable overhead estimated = $92,700

Total overhead estimated = Total variable overhead estimated + Total fixed overhead estimated

Total overhead estimated = $92,700 + $154,500

Total overhead estimated = $247,200

Predetermined overhead rate = $247,200 / 30,900

Predetermined overhead rate = $8

Total machine-hours = 30

Amount of overhead applied to Job T687:

= $8 * 30 hours

= $240.00
