Applying Overhead to Jobs, Costing Jobs

Jagjit Company designs and builds retaining walls for individual customers. On August 1, there were two jobs in process: Job 93 with a beginning balance of $8,650, and Job 94 with a beginning balance of $7,270. Jagjit applies overhead at the rate of $9 per direct labor hour. Direct labor wages average $16 per hour. Data on August costs for all jobs are as follows:

Job 93 Job 94 Job 95 Job 96

Direct materials $950 $4,500 $3,300 $1,300

Direct labor cost 2,160 5,400 2,610 900

During August, Jobs 95 and 96 were started. Job 93 was completed on August 17, and the client was billed at cost plus 40%. All other jobs remained in process.

Smaller residential jobs can still be done with the smaller bobcat tractor. How could the bulldozer’s cost be applied to only those jobs that need the larger equipment?

Explanation:

For questions 1 to 5 ,I have the answers in the excel file.

For Question 6,the bulldozer cost can depreciated depending on the envisaged useful live.The depreciation charge per year can be apportioned to jobs that made use of the bulldozer that  year on direct labor hours basis
