Question

Moody Corporation 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 157,000 Fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 650,000 Variable manufacturing overhead cost per machine-hour $ 4.40 Required: 1. 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 $ 230 Machine-hours used 37 Compute the total manufacturing cost assigned to Job 400. 3. If Job 400 includes 50 units, what is the unit product cost for this job

Answer 1

Instructions are below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Estimated machine-hours= 157,000

Estimated fixed manufacturing overhead= $650,000

Variable manufacturing overhead cost per machine-hour $4.40

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overehad rate:

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

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (650,000/157,000) + 4.4

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $8.54 per machine-hour

Job 400:

Direct materials $320

Direct labor cost $230

Machine-hours used 37

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

Allocated overhead= 8.54*37= $315.98

Finally, we need to determine the unitary cost for Job 400:

Total cost= 320 + 230 + 315.98= $865.98

Unitary cost= 865.98/50= $17.32
