Question

Tancredi Corporation has two manufacturing departments--Machining and Customizing. The company used the following data at the beginning of the year to calculate predetermined overhead rates: Machining Customizing Total Estimated total machine-hours (MHs) 5,000 5,000 10,000 Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead cost $22,000 $11,500 $33,500 Estimated variable manufacturing overhead cost per machine-hour $ 1.80 $ 3.00 During the most recent month, the company started and completed two jobs--Job E and Job J. There were no beginning inventories. Data concerning those two jobs follow: Job E Job J Direct materials $12,800 $7,000 Direct labor cost $17,600 $7,700 Machining machine-hours 3,400 1,600 Customizing machine-hours 2,000 3,000 Assume that the company uses a plantwide predetermined manufacturing overhead rate based on machine-hours. If both jobs are sold during the month, the company's cost of goods sold for the month would be closest to: (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)

Answer 1

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:

Fixed overhead= 33,500

Total variable overhead= (1.8*5,000) + (3*5,000)= 24,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (33,500 + 24,000) / 10,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $5.75

Now, we can determine the total cost for each Job:

Job E:

Direct material= $12,800

Direct labor= $17,600

Allocated overhead= (3,400 + 2,000)*5.75= $31,050

Total cost= $61,450

Job J:

Direct material= $7,000

Direct labor= $1,600

Allocated overhead= (1,600 + 3,000)*5.75= $26,450

Total cost= $35,050
