    Total cost = $24,680

    Selling price = $31,590.4

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Estimated overhead costs = $586,600

    Estimated direct labor hours = 41,900

    Estimated direct labor costs = $1,592,200 ( $38 per hour)

    Job 304:

    The job used 190 direct labor hours

    $14,800 of direct materials.

    The City of Jonestown has contracted to purchase the playground equipment for 28% over manufacturing cost.

    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 = 586,600/41,900

    Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate = $14 per direct labor hour

    Now, total cost of Job 304:

    Total cost = direct material + direct labor + allocated overhead

    Total cost = 14,800 + (38*190) + (14*190)

    Total cost = $24,680

    Finally, the selling price:

    Selling price = 24,680*1.28 = $31,590.4
