Sophie [7]

Answer:

Job 334 total cost:    $  8,400

Unit cost: 8,400 / 200 = $  42

Explanation:

Total cost: Material + Labor + Overhead

Material: 5,000

Labor:     2,400

<u></u>

<u>Overhead:</u>

\frac{Cost\: Of \:Manufacturing \:Overhead}{Cost \:Driver}= Overhead \:Rate

We distribute the expected cost over the expected base:

expected cost: 100,000

cost driver: 40,000 labor hours

cost per hour: 100,000 / 40,000 = <u>2.5 predetermined overhead</u>

Now we multiply this rate by the hours of the job to know Applied Overhead:

job labor hours x overhead rate:

Job #334 had 2,400 labor cost / $6 rate per hour = 400 hours

400 x 2.5 = 1,000

Total cost: 5,000 + 2,400 + 1,000 = 8,400
