Answer:
1. Cutting Department = $8.99 per machine hour and Finishing Department = $11.53 per direct labor hour.
2. The total manufacturing overhead cost assigned to Job 203 is $2,058.46.
3. Yes. Plant wide pre-determined overhead rate does not consider the cost driver in the departments involved.
Explanation:
<em>Predetermined overhead rate = Budgeted Overheads / Budgeted Activity</em>
Cutting Department = $390,000 / 43,400
= $8.99 per machine hour
Finishing Department = $496,000 / 43,000
= $11.53 per direct labor hour
