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 155,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 653,000
Variable manufacturing overhead cost per machine-hour $ 4.70
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 $ 390
Direct labor cost $ 220
Machine-hours used 37
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?
4. If Moody uses a markup percentage of 120% of its total manufacturing cost, then what selling price per unit would it have established for Job 400?
find- Predetermined overhead rate =
A. total manufacturing cost=
B. If Job 400 includes 60 units, what is the unit product cost for this job?
C. If Moody uses a markup percentage of 120% of its total manufacturing cost, then what selling price per unit would it have established for Job 400?

Answer 1

Instructions are below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Machine-hours required to support estimated production 155,000

Fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 653,000

Variable manufacturing overhead cost per machine-hour $ 4.70

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:

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

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (653,000/155,000) + 4.7

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $8.91 per machine hour

Job 400:

Direct materials $ 390

Direct labor cost $ 220

Machine-hours used 37

Total cost= 390 + 220 + 37*8.91

Total cost= $939.67

Unitary cost= 939.67/60= $15.62

Finally, the selling price for Job 400:

Selling price per unit= 15.62*1.2= $18.74
