Answer 1

	Molding	Fabrication	Total
Estimated total machine hours used	2500	1500	4000
(*) Estimated variable manufacturing overhead per machine hour	1.40	2.20
Estimated total variable manufacturing overhead	3500	3300	6800
Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead	10000	15000	25000
Estimated total manufacturing overhead	13500	18300	31800

Plantwide predetermined overhead rate = Estimated total manufacturing overhead / Estimated total machine hours used = 31800 / 4000 =

7.95

per MH

Required 2 :
	Job P	Job Q
Total actual machine hours used	2300	1700
Plantwide predetermined overhead rate	7.95	7.95
Manufacturing overhead applied	18285	13515
