Machine-hours 58,800 | 2,300

Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost - $380,000 | $484,000

Variable manufacturinf overhead per machine-hour - $4.00 | _

Variable manufacturing overhead per direct labor-hour- _ | 2.75

1. Compute the predetermined overhead rate of each department.

2. The job cost sheet for job 203, which was started and completed during the year, show the following:

Direct labor-hours - 3 | 16

Machine-hours - 81 | 4

Using the predetermined overhead rates that you computer and requirement (1), Compute the total manufacturing costs assigned to job 203
