Snappy Company has a job-order costing system and uses a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours to apply manufacturing overhead to jobs. Manufacturing overhead cost and direct labor hours were estimated at $100,000 and 40,000 hours, respectively, for the year. In July, Job #334 was completed at a cost of $5,000 in direct materials and $2,400 in direct labor. The labor rate is $6 per hour. By the end of the year, Snappy had worked a total of 45,000 direct labor-hours and had incurred $110,250 actual manufacturing overhead cost.

  1. The correct answer is option (A) $42.00

    Explanation:

    Solution

    Given that:

    The established rate  is given as = 100,000/40,000

    = $2.5 per hour

    Thus

    The cost of the job is shown is shown below:

    The direct material = $5,000

    The direct labor = $2400

    Then

    The manufacturing overheard is = 400 * 2.5 = $1,000

    So,

    The total cost is = $5,000 + $2400 + $1000 = $8,400

    To get our unit cost,

    Unit cost = $8400/200 = $42.00

    It is important to know that, the  number of labor hours used in jobs = Total labor cost/Rate per hour

    =2,400/6 = 400 hours

  3. Job 334 total cost:    $  8,400

    Unit cost: 8,400 / 200 = $  42

    Explanation:

    Total cost: Material + Labor + Overhead

    Material: 5,000

    Labor:     2,400

    Overhead:

    [tex]\frac{Cost\: Of \:Manufacturing \:Overhead}{Cost \:Driver}= Overhead \:Rate[/tex]

    We distribute the expected cost over the expected base:

    expected cost: 100,000

    cost driver: 40,000 labor hours

    cost per hour: 100,000 / 40,000 = 2.5 predetermined overhead

    Now we multiply this rate by the hours of the job to know Applied Overhead:

    job labor hours x overhead rate:

    Job #334 had 2,400 labor cost / $6 rate per hour = 400 hours

    400 x 2.5 = 1,000

    Total cost: 5,000 + 2,400 + 1,000 = 8,400
