Answer:

W = $27.34

Explanation:

Given data:

Percentage Decline in average income is = 2%

CPI in 1990 1.30

CPI in 2000 is 1.69

Average nominal wage is 2000 is $35

Inflation rate is given as

Inflation rate = % Change in CPI

                    = (1.69 / 1.3) - 1

                    = 1.3 - 1 = 0.3 = 30%

Real wage = Nominal wage / Price level,  hence

Percentage change in real wage = % Change in (nominal wage - inflation rate)

-2% = % Change in nominal wage - 30%

% Change in nominal wage = 28%

let nominal wage in 1990 is w

W\times 1.28% = $35

solving for W = $27.34

= $2.00 per direct labor hour

Overhead assigned to each product:

                                   Product 1    Product 2

Direct labor hours     480,000        147,200

Predetermined overhead

 rate  = $2 per direct labor hour

Total overhead =    $960,000    $294,400

2. Predetermined departmental overhead rates:

Department 1:    

Direct labor hours $2 ($1,536,000/768,000)

Department 2

Machine hours = $7.385 ($1,536,000/208,000)

Overhead assigned:

Product 1 = $960,000 (480,000 * $2)

Product 2 = $70,896 (9,600 * $7.385)

3. The applied overhead for the year:

Department 1 = $1,254,400 (627,200 * $2)

Department 2 = $1,512,448 (204,800 * $7.385)

Total   =            $2,766,848

Overapplied overhead for the firm = $1,134,848 ($2,766,848 - $1,632,000)

4. Debit Manufacturing overhead $1,134,848

Credit Cost of goods sold $1,134,848

To transfer the overapplied overhead to cost of goods sold.

Department 2  96,000     38,400       134,400

Machine hours:
