1. Calculate the manufacturing cost of Job 301. (hint: remember you have to consider each product cost: direct materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead)
2. How much will the City of Westlake pay for this playground equipment?

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

1 Calculation of predetermined overhead rate is  

Predetermined overhead rate= Estimated Overhead Cost ÷  Direct labor hours

= $664,000 ÷ 41,500

= $16 per direct labor hour.

Now

Calculation of Total Job Cost:-

Direct Materials $12,700

Direct Labor            $3,100

(155 direct labor hours × $20 per hour)  

Manufacturing Overhead $2,480  

(155 direct labor hours × $16 per hour)

 Total Job Cost $18,280

2- Calculation of contracted billing price:-

Total manufacturing cost of Job 301 $18,280

Add: Markup on manufacturing cost  20% of $18,280  $3,656

Billing price $21,936
