During the current year, Job #X2984 incurred the following number of hours in each department: Fabrication Assembly Machine-hours: 40 12Direct labor-hours: 3 25What is the total amount of manufacturing overhead that Huang should have applied to Job #X2984 during the current year?a. $1,200b. $1,500c. $1,560d. $1,734

Answer 1

Answer:

b. $1,500

Explanation:

The computation of the total amount of manufacturing overhead is shown below:

= Assembly department + Fabrication department

where,

Assembly department equals to

= $30 × 40 machine hours

= $1,200

Fabrication department would be

= $12 × 25 direct labor hour

= $300

So, the total manufacturing overhead would be

= $1,200 + $300

= $1,500
