Required:
Calculate the predetermined overhead rate for each department
Calculate the total manufacturing costs assigned to jobs in January in each department.
Calculate the under-or over-applied overhead for each department at January 31st.
Ans-
Department A = Manufacturing overhead / Direct labor costs
=$720,000 / $590,000
=122%
Department B= Manufacturing overhead / Direct labor hours
=$620,000 /41,500
=$14.94
Department = Manufacturing overhead / Machine hours
$910,000/128,500
=$7.08

Total manufacturing costs assigned to jobs in January
Department A =$54,500 * 122/100=$66,490 +$54,500+$92,500=$213,490
Department B=4,400 hours* $14.94 =$65,736+$33,000+$82,000=$180,736
Department C= 14,500*$7.08=$102,660+$48,500+$66,000=$217,160
