Norah Bernard · Answer 1

Forming

Estimated fixed manufacturing overhead $27,000

Estimated variable manufacturing overhead ($1.10*5,000) $5,500

Estimated total manufacturing overhead cost $32,500

Assembly

Estimated fixed manufacturing overhead $10,500

Estimated variable manufacturing overhead ($2.80 * 5,000) 14,000

Estimated total manufacturing overhead cost $24,500

Now we need to add these two numbers ($32,500 + $24,500 = $57,000) in order to identify plantwide predetermined manufacturing overhead rate

Estimated total manufacturing overhead cost $57,000

Estimated total machine hours 10,000

Predetermined overhead rate $5.70 [57,000/10,00]

The overhead applied to Job C:

Overhead applied to job C = Predetermined overhead rate x Machine-hours incurred by C

= $5.70 * (3,400 + 2,000)

= $5.70 x (5,400)

= $30,780

Job C's manufacturing cost:

Direct materials $11,200

Direct labor cost $21,900

Manufacturing overhead $30,780

Total manufacturing cost $63,880

The selling price for Job C:

Total manufacturing cost $63,880

Markup (40%) 25,552

Selling price $89,432
