Question

Lupo Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours. The company based its predetermined overhead rate for the current year on the following data: Total machine-hours 31,500 Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 220,500 Variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour $ 6.00 Recently, Job T687 was completed with the following characteristics: Number of units in the job 10 Total machine-hours 40 Direct materials $ 685 Direct labor cost $ 1,370 If the company marks up its unit product costs by 40% then the selling price for a unit in Job T687 is closest to: (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)

Answer 1

Answer:

$2575

Explanation:

Total variable overhead estimated=(6*31,500)= $189,000

Hence total overhead estimated=Total variable overhead estimated+Total fixed overhead estimated = $189,000 + $220,500 = $409,500

Hence, predetermined overhead rate = $409,500 / 31,500 = $13 per machine hour  

Hence, total overhead applied=(13*400) = $520

Hence, total job cost=Direct material+Direct labor+Total overhead = $685 + $1,370 + $520 = $2575
