5. If the company uses a plantwide overhead rate based on
direct labor hours, what is the overhead cost for each unit of Job
3175? Of Job 4286? (Do not round intermediate calculations.
Round "OH Cost per unit" answers to 2 decimal places.)
Production Activity | Indirect Labor | Indirect Materials | Other Overhead | Total Overheads |
Grinding | 380,000 | 380,000 | ||
Polishing | 145,000 | 145,000 | ||
Product modification | 650,000 | 650,000 | ||

System calibration | 510,000 | 510,000 | ||
Total | $1,925,000 |
Total direct labor hours = 17,000 direct labor hours
Predetermined overhead rate = Total overheads/ Total direct labor hours
= 1,925,000/17,000
= $113.235294
Direct labor hours used in Job 3175 = 510
Overhead applied to Job 3175 = direct labor hours used in Job 3175 x Predetermined overhead rate
= 510 x 113.235294
= $57,750
Overhead per unit of Job 3175 = Overhead applied to Job 3175 / Number of units
= 57,750/120
= $481.25
Direct labor hours used in Job 4286= 4,590
Overhead applied to Job 4286= direct labor hours used in Job 4286x Predetermined overhead rate
= 4,590 x 113.235294
= $519,750
Overhead per unit of Job 4286= Overhead applied to Job 4286/ Number of units
= 519,750/1,500
= $346.50
