Job P was completed and sold by4-2, 4-3, 4-4, 4-5, 4-6 the end of March and Job Q was incomplete at the end of March. The company uses a plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours. The following additional information is available for the company as a whole and for Jobs P and Q (all data and questions relate to the month of March): Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead....... Estimated variable manufacturing overhead per $10,000 direct labor-hour... Estimated total direct labor hours to be worked Total actual manufacturing overhead costs incurred $1.00 2,000 $12,500 Job P Job Q Direct labor cost . ..

What is the company's predetermined overhead rate? 2. How much manufacturing overhead was applied to Job P and Job Q? 3. What is the direct labor hourly wage rate? 4. If Job P includes 20 units, what is its unit product cost?

Explanation / Answer

1)predetermined overhead rate = Estimated fixed overhead rate per DLH+Estimated variable overhead rate per DLH

             = [10000/2000] + 1

               = 5+1

                =$ 6 per Direct labor hour

**Estimaed fixed overhead rate = estimaed fixed overhead /estimated direct labor hour

2)overhead applied to:

Job P= Actual hour worked * predetermined overhead rate

      = 1400*6

      = $ 8400

Job Q : 500*6

         = 3000

3)Direct labor hourly wage rate = Actual direct labor cost for job P/Job Q/Actual direct labor hour worked for Job P /Job Q

      = [21000/1400] or [7500/500]

     = $ 15 per direct labor hour

4)Total cost =Direct material +Direct labor + overhead applied

            = 13000 +21000+8400

            = 42400

unit cost =Total cost /total units

             = 42400/ 20

            = $ 2120 per unit
