Eisentrout Corporation has two production departments, Machining and Customizing. The company uses a job-order costing system and computes a predetermined overhead rate in each production department. The Machining Department’s predetermined overhead rate is based on machine-hours and the Customizing Department’s predetermined overhead rate is based on direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the current year, the company had made the following estimates:

	Machining	Customizing
Machine-hours	24,000	25,000
Direct labor-hours	20,000	7,000
Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost	$79,200	$31,500
Variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour	$2.00
Variable manufacturing overhead per direct labor-hour		$3.50

During the current month the company started and finished Job T272. The following data were recorded for this job:

Job T272:	Machining	Customizing

Answer 1

16) Estimated total manufacturing overhead for the machining Department

	Machining
Fixed Overhead	79200
Variable overhead (24000*2)	48000
Total	127200

17) Actual overhead = Applied overhead/overhead rate = 40800/12 = 3400 Hour
