(1) The plant wide - Overhead rate for Fixed MOH = Total Fixed MOH / Total Machine hours

= 29800 / 4000 = 7.45

Using the above recovery rate total manufacturing cost and per unit cost can be calculated as under

Question - 4

Unit product cost = 5259

Question - 5

Total Manufacturing cost = 72835

Question - 6

Unit product cost = 2428

Question - 7

Question - 8  

Job - P Job - Q Fixed MOH rate per hour 7.45 7.45 Variable MOH rate per hour 3.1 3.9 Total MOH rate per hour 10.55 11.35
