Lezo 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 40,000 machine-hours, total fixed manufacturing overhead cost of $136,000, and a variable manufacturing overhead rate of $2.90 per machine-hour. Job A290, which was for 60 units of a custom product, was recently completed. The job cost sheet for the job contained the following data:?Total machine-hours300?Direct materials$585?Direct labor cost$7,200Required:a. Calculate the estimated total manufacturing overhead for the year.b. Calculate the predetermined overhead rate for the year.c. Calculate the amount of overhead applied to Job A290.d. Calculate the total job cost for Job A290.

What will be an ideal response?


a. Estimated total manufacturing overhead cost = Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead cost + (Estimated variable overhead cost per unit of the allocation base × Estimated total amount of the allocation base) = $136,000 + ($2.90 per machine-hour × 40,000 machine-hours) = $136,000 + $116,000 = $252,000

b. Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated total manufacturing overhead cost ÷ Estimated total amount of the allocation base = $252,000 ÷ 40,000 machine-hours = $6.30 per machine-hour

c. Overhead applied to a particular job = Predetermined overhead rate x Amount of the allocation base incurred by the job = $6.30 per machine-hour × 300 machine-hours = $1,890

d.Direct materials$585
?Direct labor7,200
?Manufacturing overhead applied1,890
?Total cost of Job A290$9,675
