Respuesta :

Answer:

Total cost= $9,600

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Total direct labor-hours 78,000

Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 460,200

Variable manufacturing overhead per direct labor-hour $ 5.00

Job P951:

Total direct labor-hours 100

Direct materials $ 710

Direct labor cost $ 7,800

First, we need to determine the estimated overhead rate:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= (460,200/78,000) + 5= $10.9 per direct labor hour.

Now, we can calculate the total cost of the job:

Total cost= 710 + 7,800 + (100*10.9)

Total cost= $9,600
