Overhead

$789,000

Direct labor hours

100,000

Explanation / Answer

1. plant overhead rate is = Manufacturing over cost/Direct labour hour

=789000/100000

=$7.89

2. in case of job 741

Direcvt material =25500

Direct labou cost= 61300

Overhead cost= $7.89 X 4000=$31560

Total $118360

in case of Job 743

Direct material cost =14450

Direct Labour Cost=28700

Direct Overhead cost = $7.89 X 1980= 15622.2  

Total $58772

Similarly other Cost sheet were made

3.

WIP

Direct material of job 742,744,745 resp = 39800+13600+8420=$61820

Direct Labour cost of job 742,744,745 resp= 48500+24500+21300= $94300

Direct over head cost = 7.89X3400+7.89X1600+7.89X1400

=26826+12624+11046=50496

Total = 61820+94300+50496= 206616

4. COGS= begining inventory+ purchase made during the period-ending inventory

begining inventory of job 741, 743=29870+27880=57750

Direct material cost on sale of job 741,743 =25500+14450=39950

Direct labour cost on sale of job 741, 743=61300+28700=90000

Direct overhead cost of job 741, 743=7.89x4000+7.89x1980

=31560+15622.2=47182

total= $234882
