Answer 1

Answer:

a)

Job          Direct Materials     Direct Labor     overhead         Total Job cost

Job 765               $6,160           $1,848              $3,366                 $11,374

Job 766               $10,944         $3,456             $9,792                $24,192

b)

For Job 765 = $86.167

For Job 765 = $126

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Job                 Direct Materials            Direct Labor          Machine Hours

Job 765               $6,160                         $1,848                      22

Job 766               $10,944                       $3,456                     64

Overhead rate = $153 per hour

Job 765 consisted = 132 units

766 consisted = 192 units

now,

Overhead = Machine Hours × Overhead rate

For Job 765 = 22 × 153

= $3366

For Job 766 = 64 × 153

= $9792

Total job cost i.e  balance on the job cost sheets

= Direct Materials  + Direct Labor + overhead

a)

Job          Direct Materials     Direct Labor     overhead         Total Job cost

Job 765               $6,160           $1,848              $3,366                 $11,374

Job 766               $10,944         $3,456             $9,792                $24,192

b)

Cost per unit = [ Total job cost ] ÷ Total units

For Job 765 = $11,374 ÷ 132

= $86.167

For Job 765 = $24,192 ÷ 192

= $126
