$152,500 |
Required:
Answer a.
Highest Activity:
Manufacturing overhead = $307,575
Direct labor hours = 59,900
Lowest Activity:
Manufacturing overhead = $158,600
Direct labor hours = 27,800
Variable cost per direct labor hour = (Manufacturing overhead at
highest activity - Manufacturing overhead at lowest activity) /
(Direct labor hours at highest activity - Direct labor hours at
lowest activity)
Variable cost per direct labor hour = ($307,575 - $158,600) /
(59,900 - 27,800)
Variable cost per direct labor hour = $4.64
Fixed cost = Manufacturing overhead at highest activity -
Variable cost per direct labor hour * Direct labor hours at highest
activity
Fixed cost = $307,575 - $4.64 * 59,900
Fixed cost = $29,639
Manufacturing overhead = Variable cost per direct labor hour *
Direct labor hours + Fixed cost
Manufacturing overhead = $4.64 * Direct labor hours + $29,639
Answer b.
Manufacturing overhead = $4.64 * Direct labor hours +
$29,639
Manufacturing overhead = $4.64 * 41,000 + $29,639
Manufacturing overhead = $219,879
