White Company has two departments: cutting and finishing. The company uses a job-order costing system and computes a predetermined overhead rate in each department. The cutting department bases its rate on machine-hours, and the finishing department bases its rate on direct labour cost.

(Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) 2. Assume that the overhead rates that you computed in Requirement (7) are in effect. The job cost sheet for job 203, which was started and completed during the year, showed the following: Compute the total overhead cost applied to job 203. (Do not round intermediate calculation. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.) 3.
