Calculating Predetermined Overhead Rates, Recording Manufacturing Cost Flows, and Analyzing Overhead

Tyler Tooling Company uses a job order costing system with overhead applied to products on the basis of machine hours. For the upcoming year, the company estimated its total manufacturing overhead cost at $250,000 and total machine hours at 62,500. During the first month of operations, the company worked on three jobs and recorded the following actual direct materials cost, direct labor cost, and machine hours for each job:

 

Job 101

Job 102

Job 103

Total

Direct materials cost

$12,000

$9,000

$6,000

$27,000

Direct labor cost

$18,000

$7,000

$6,000

$31,000

Machine hours

2,000 hours

3,000 hours

1,000 hours

6,000 hours

Job 101 was completed and sold for $50,000. Job 102 was completed but not sold. Job 103 is still in process. Actual overhead costs recorded during the first month of operations totaled $25,000.

Required:
