Compute the plantwide predetermined overhead rate. 2. During the year, Job 400 was started and completed. The following information was available with respect to this job: Direct materials $ 320 Direct labor cost $ 260 Machine-hours used 34 Compute the total manufacturing cost assigned to Job 400. 3. If Job 400 includes 60 units, what is the unit product cost for this job

Answer:

(A) The plant wide predetermined overhead allocation rate cannot be calculated because the question is incomplete.

(B) Total Manufacturing Cost = $9,160

(C) Product Cost per Unit = $152.67

Step-by-step explanation:

(A) Predetermined Overhead Rate = Total overhead cost ÷ Total machine hours

Input the data on Total Overhead Cost and calculate (as the data is absent in the question here)

Only machine hours is given.

(B) Total Manufacturing Cost = Direct Materials Cost + Direct Labour Cost + Manufacturing Overhead Cost

Since manufacturing overhead is absent, Total Manufacturing Cost is equal to

$320 + ($260 × 34hrs) = $320 + $8,840 = $9,160

(C) Product Cost per Unit = $9,160 ÷ 60 units

Product Cost per Unit = $152.67

Missing details in the question:

Taveras Corporation is currently operating at 50% of its available manufacturing capacity. It uses a job-order costing system with a plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours. At the beginning of the year, the company made the following estimates:

Machine-hours required to support estimated production 165,000

Fixed manufacturing overhead cost $1,980,000

Variable manufacturing overhead cost per machine-hour $2.00

Answer:

1. Predetermined Overhead Rate = $14 per machine-hour

2. Total Manufacturing Cost =$1056

3.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Calculating the plantwide predetermined overhead rate.

First, we need to calculate the estimated total overhead

This is calculated using the following formula

E = F + VM

Where F =

M = Machine-hours = 165,000

F = Fixed manufacturing overhead cost = $1,980,000

V = Variable manufacturing overhead cost per machine-hour = $2.00

By Substituton;

E = $1,980,000 + $2.00 * 165,000

E = $1,980,000 + $330,000

E = $2,310,000

The Predetermined Overhead Rate, P = E/M

By Substitution

P =$2,310,000/165,000

P = $14 per machine-hour

Hence, the Predetermined Overhead Rate is $14 per machine-hour

2. Calculating the total manufacturing cost assigned to Job 400

3. If Job 400 includes 60 units, the unit product cost for this job is $17.6 per unit

Given

Direct materials $ 320

Direct labor cost $ 260

Machine-hours used 34

First, we need to calculate the overhead applied.

Overhead Applied = Machine-hour used * Overhead Rate

Overhead Applied = 34 * 14

Overhead Applied = $476

Total Manufacturing Cost = Direct materials + Direct labor cost + Overhead Applied.

Total Manufacturing Cost = $320 + $260 + $476

Total Manufacturing Cost =$1056

3. If Job 400 includes 60 units, the unit product cost for this job is calculated by

Total Manufacturing Cost ÷Total units for production

= $1056/60

= $17.6 per unit
