The total direct labor was incurred at a rate of $20 per direct labor hour for Job 50 and $12 per direct labor hour for Job 51. The predetermined factory overhead rate is $8.00 per direct labor hour. a. Determine the balance on the job cost sheets for Jobs 50 and 51 at the end of April. Job 50 $ Job 51 $ b. Determine the cost per unit for Jobs 50 and 51 at the end of April. Round all answers to the nearest whole cent. Job 50 $ Job 51 $

Answer 1

Total Cost of Job 50 = $28,800

Total Cost of Job 51 = $28,800

Cost per unit Job 50 = $144

Cost per unit Job 51 = $57.6

Explanation:

a. The computation of balance on the job cost sheets for Jobs 50 and 51 at the end of April is shown below:-

Particulars Job 50 Job 51

Number of units 200 500

Direct material

Job 50 (600 × $20) $12,000

Job 51 (1,300 × $16) $20,800

Direct labor

Job 50 (600 × $20) $12,000

Job 51 (400 × $12) $4,800

Overhead

Job 50 (600 × $8.00) $4,800

Job 51 (400 × $8.00) $3,200

Total cost $28,800 $28,800

Total Cost of Job 50 = Direct material + Direct labor + Overhead

= $12,000 + $12,000 + $4,800

= $28,800

Total Cost of Job 51 = Direct material + Direct labor + Overhead

= $20,800 + $4,800 + $3,200

= $28,800

b. The computation of cost per units at the end for Jobs 50 and 51 at the end of April is shown below:-

Cost per unit of Job 50 = Total cost of Job 50 ÷ Number of units of Job 50

= $28,800 ÷ 200

= $144

Cost per unit of Job 50 = Total cost of Job 50 ÷ Number of units of Job 50

= $28,800 ÷ 500

= $57.6
