Answer:

Total cost of job A881= $9,445

Explanation:

The total cost of Job 881 would be the sum of the direct cost and the manufacturing overhead

Total cost = Direct material + direct labour + variable manufacturing overhead + Fixed Overhead

Direct material and labour represent cost of material and labour incurred wholly and directly for Job A881

The overhead absorption rate(OAR) would be used to charge fixed manufacturing overhead to Job A881

The absorbed overhead = OAR × actual machine hours used for Job A881

OAR = budgeted overhead ÷ budgeted machine hours

OAR = $155,000 ÷ 50,000 machine hours = $3.1 per machine hour

Fixed manufacturing overhead absorbed = $3.1 × 100 = $3,100

Variable manufacturing overhead = $3.40 × 100 = $3,400

Total cost of job A881= 645 + 2,300 + 3,400 + 3,100 = $9,445

Total cost of job A881= $9,445
