Total variable overhead estimated=($0.05*8,000,000)=$400,000
Total overhead estimated=Total fixed overhead cost+Total variable overhead estimated
(4,800,000+400,000)=$5,200,000
1.Predetermined overhead rate=Total overhead estimated/Direct labor dollars estimated
=$5,200,000/8,000,000
which is equal to
=0.65 direct labor cost(or 65%)
2.Total overhead cost=0.65*2,400,000=$1,560,000
Add:direct material cost=$1,259,000
Add:direct labor cost=$2,400,000
Total job cost=$5,219,000.
