Problem 1
Given:
Direct Material used = 500 pounds
Cost of Direct Material per pound = $25
Direct Labor hours= 90
Wages per hour= $18
Total Overhead = $180,000
Total Machine Hours = 30,000
Required Machine Hours in Job B011= 150
Total cost to Job B011: ?
Solution:
Direct Material used = 500 pounds x $25 =12,500
Direct Labor hours = 90 X $18 = 1,620
Overhead applied to job BO11= $180,000 / 30,000 x 150 = 900
Total job cost: 15,020
