Math Problem Statement

Based on this information, the overhead applied to Job ABC using multiple predetermined overhead rates is $____. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Solution

To solve the given problem, we need to calculate the total overhead applied to Job ABC using the multiple predetermined overhead rates provided for the company, Department A, and Department B.

Steps to Calculate the Overhead:

  1. Use the formula:
    Overhead Applied=Direct Labor Hours Worked×Predetermined Overhead Rate\text{Overhead Applied} = \text{Direct Labor Hours Worked} \times \text{Predetermined Overhead Rate}

  2. Calculate overhead for each department:

    • For the Company: Overhead Applied=40(hours)×2.10=84.00\text{Overhead Applied} = 40 \, (\text{hours}) \times 2.10 = 84.00
    • For Department A: Overhead Applied=18(hours)×2.40=43.20\text{Overhead Applied} = 18 \, (\text{hours}) \times 2.40 = 43.20
    • For Department B: Overhead Applied=22(hours)×1.80=39.60\text{Overhead Applied} = 22 \, (\text{hours}) \times 1.80 = 39.60
  3. Add the total overhead: Total Overhead Applied=84.00+43.20+39.60=166.80\text{Total Overhead Applied} = 84.00 + 43.20 + 39.60 = 166.80

Final Answer:

The total overhead applied to Job ABC is $166.80.
