Question

Lupo Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours. The company based its predetermined overhead rate for the current year on the following data: Total machine-hours 32,600 Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 195,600 Variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour $ 4.00 Recently, Job T687 was completed with the following characteristics: Number of units in the job 10 Total machine-hours 30 Direct materials $ 550 Direct labor cost $ 1,100 The total job cost for Job T687 is closest to:

Answer 1

Total cost= $1,900

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Total machine-hours 32,600

Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 195,600

Variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour $ 4.00

Job T687:

Total machine-hours 30

Direct materials $ 550

Direct labor cost $ 1,100

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= (195,600/32,600) + 4

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $10 per machine hour

Now, we can determine the total cost:

Total cost= direct material + direct labor + allocated overhead

Total cost= 500 + 1,100 + 10*30

Total cost= $1,900
