I have the following information: direct materials $250 and total manufacturing cost $700. Overhead applied to jobs at a rate of 200% of direct labor cost. This is for Chapter 2 job costing in managerial accounting. I am supposed to figure out conversion cost, direct labor cost, and manufacturing overhead.
I know the formula for conversion cost= direct labor + manufacturing OH
Prime cost= direct labor + direct materials
How do I figure out direct labor cost with the given information? The learning objective states calcualte predetermined overhead rate, but I do not have estimated manufacturing cost and estimated labor. Can you please help?
Thanks,
Erica Gordon

- The following scenario relates to 5 questions. Bear Co has developed a new model of television. The estimated labour time for the first unit is 12 hours but a learning curve of 75% is expected to apply for the first eight units produced Note: The learning index for a 75% learning curve is-0-415.

Each department provides training in a different area as follows: nursing assistant, dental hygiene, and office technology. The school's owner, Candice Vest, wants to know how much it cost to operate each of the three departments. To accumulate the total cost for each department, the accountant has identified several indirect costs that must be allocated to each. These costs are $10,080 of telephone expense, $2,016 of supplies expense, $720,000 of office rent, $144,000 of janitorial services, and $150,000 of salary paid to the dean of students. To provide a reasonably accurate allocation of costs, the accountant has identified several possible cost drivers. These drivers and their association with each department follow.

- In Class Assignment 1 AlSaleh has assigned overhead on a plantwide basis to its two products (Tables and Chairs) using direct labor hours which are estimated to be 200,000 for the current year. The company has decided to experiment with activity-based costing and has created two activity cost pools and related activity cost drivers. These two cost pools are Ordering and receiving (cost driver is Purchase orders) and machine setup (cost driver is number of setups). Overhead allocated to the ordering and receiving cost pool is $200,000, and $800,000 is allocated to the machine setup cost pool. Additional information related to these pools is as follows: Cost Drivers Tables Chairs Purchase orders 30,000 10,000 number of setups 10,000 30,000 a.
