Question

Spartan Corporation estimates that it will incur $200,000 of total manufacturing overhead cost at an estimated activity level of 10,000 direct labor-hours. What is the amount of manufacturing overhead that would be applied to a job that required 200 direct labor-hours?

Answer 1

Answer:

Applied manufacturing overhead is $4,000

Explanation:

Given,

Total manufacturing overhead = $200,000

Activity level = 10,000 DLH

Predetermined overhead rate = $\frac{Manufacturing\ overhead\ cost}{Activity\ level}$

=$\frac{200,000}{10,000}$

=$20

Manufacturing overhead applied = predetermined rate × time required

                                                       = 20 × 200

                                                       = $4,000

Therefore, manufacturing overhead of $4,000 is applied to the job.
