Chapter 4, Problem 4.2SE
Use departmental
Whitney Furniture uses departmental overhead rates (rather than a plantwide overhead rate) to allocate its manufacturing overhead to jobs. The company’s two production departments have the following departmental overhead rates:
| Cutting Department: | $9 per machine hour |
| Finishing Department: | $18 per direct labor hour |
Job 484 used the following direct labor hours and machine hours in the two manufacturing departments:
| JOB 484 | Cutting Department | Finishing Department |
| Direct Labor Hours | 2 | 7 |
| Machine Hours | 8 | 4 |
- 1. How much manufacturing overhead should be allocated to Job 484?
- 2. Assume that direct labor is paid at a rate of $24 per hour and Job 484 used $2,400 of direct materials. What was the total
manufacturing cost of Job 484?
