Lowell Company uses a normal​ job-costing system at its Minneapolis plant. The plant has a machining department and an assembly department. Its​ job-costing system has two​ direct-cost categories​ (direct materials and direct manufacturing​ labor) and two manufacturing overhead cost pools​ (the machining department​overhead, allocated to jobs based on actual​ machine-hours, and the assembly department​ overhead, allocated to jobs based on actual direct manufacturing labor​costs). The 2017 budget for the plant is as​ follows:

Machining Department

Assembly Department

Manufacturing overhead                                                                                  

Machining     $1,800,000

Assembly      $3,900,000

Direct manufacturing labor costs

Machining     $1,000,000

Assembly      $3,000,000

Direct manufacturing labor-hours

Machining          160,000

Assembly           200,000

Machine-hours

Machining           60,000

Assembly          200,000

1. Identify the components of the overview diagram of Lowell​'s job-costing system. Compute the budgeted manufacturing overhead rate for each department.

2. During​ February, the​ job-cost record for Job 494 contained the​ following:

Machining Department

Assembly Department

Direct material used

$48,000

$78,000

Direct manufacturing labor costs

$18,000

$20,000

Direct manufacturing labor-hours

1,400

1,500

Machine-hours

2,600

1,600

Compute the total manufacturing overhead costs allocated to Job 494.

3. At the end of 2017​, the actual manufacturing overhead costs were $2,100,000

in machining and $5,300,000 in assembly. Assume that 66,000 actual​ machine-hours were used in machining and that actual direct manufacturing labor costs in assembly were $3,300,000.

Compute the​ over- or underallocated manufacturing overhead for each department.
