Problem 2-24A Multiple Departments; Applying Overhead [LO2-1, LO2-2, LO2-3, LO2-7]

High Desert Potteryworks makes a variety of pottery products that it sells to retailers such as Home Depot. The company uses a job-order costing system in which predetermined overhead rates are used to apply manufacturing overhead cost to jobs. The predetermined overhead rate in the Molding Department is based on machine-hours, and the rate in the Painting Department is based on direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the year, the company's management made the following estimates:

	Department
	Molding	Painting
Direct labor-hours	37,000	54,900
Machine-hours	86,000	37,000
Direct materials cost	$188,000	$198,000
Direct labor cost	$277,000	$530,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead cost	$240,800	$477,630
Variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour	$2.80	-
Variable manufacturing overhead per direct labor-hour	-	$4.80

Job 205 was started on August 1 and completed on August 10. The company's cost records show the following information concerning the job:

	Department
	Molding	Painting
Direct labor-hours	85	132
Machine-hours	350	69
