3-a. What would be the total manufacturing cost recorded for Job 205?

3-b. If the job contained 37 units, what would be the unit product cost?

Answer 1

i think the answer is

Explanation:Molding department rate = (134400/84000+3.20)

= 4.80 per MH

Painting department rate = (516560/58700+5.20) = 14 per DLH

2) Total overhead cost = (380*4.8+14*132) = 3672

3) Total Job Cost

Molding Painting Total

Direct material 938 1200 2138

Direct labor 730 980 1710

Overhead 1824 1848 3672

Total 3492 4028 7520

4) Unit product cost = 7520/39 = 192.82
