Answer 1

Overhead rate = Estimated overhead/estimated direct labor hours = 4500/300 = 15 per hour

1) Manufacturing overhead applied to Job 89 = 30*15 = $450

So answer is a) $450

2) Total manufacturing cost incurred by Job 90 = (1726+1150+50*15) = 3626

So answer is a) $3626

3) Balance in Work in process march 31 = (1525+820+975+480+45*15) = 4475

So answer is c) $4475

4) Balance in Finished goods march 31 = (3626+1824) = 5450

So answer is a) $5450

5) Amount of cost of goods sold = 1300+2230+800+1620+(95*15)+2300 = 9675

So answer is b) $9675

6) Selling price = 4825*1.4 = $6755

So answer is a) $6755
