Job 102 Job 103 Job 104

Direct materials $15,000 $33,000 $27,000

Direct labor 8,000 14,200 21,000

Overhead applied 4,000 7,100 10,500

Using the accumulated costs of the jobs, what predetermined overhead rate is used?

Job 102 = 29.69% of the Manufacturing Cost.

Job 103 Predetermined overhead rate = 26.15%of the Manufacturing Cost.

Job 104 Predetermined overhead rate = 35.89%of the Manufacturing Cost.

Job 102 = 50% of direct labor Cost

Job 103 Predetermined overhead rate 50%of direct labor Cost

Job 104 Predetermined overhead rate = 50%of direct labor Cost

Explanation:

Total Manufacturing Costs

Job 102 Job 103 Job 104

Direct materials $15,000 $33,000 $27,000

Direct labor 8,000 14,200 21,000

Overhead applied 4,000 7,100 10,500

Total $27000 54,300 58500

Predetermined overhead rate = Overhead applied / Direct Labor Cost * 100

Job 102 = 8000/4000 * 100 = 50% of direct labor Cost

Job 103 Predetermined overhead rate=14200 / 7100 (100) = 50%of direct labor Cost

Job 104 Predetermined overhead rate=21000 / 10500 (100) = 50%of direct labor Cost

Using the accumulated costs

Predetermined overhead rate = Overhead applied / Accumulated Costs (100

Job 102 = 8000/27000*100 = 29.69% of the Manufacturing Cost.

Job 103 Predetermined overhead rate=14200 / 54300 (100) = 26.15%of the Manufacturing Cost.

Job 104 Predetermined overhead rate=21000 / 58500 (100) = 35.89%of the Manufacturing Cost.
