Question

Sinclair Company manufactures a line of lightweight running shoes. CEO Andrew Sinclair estimated that the company would incur $3,412,200 in manufacturing overhead during the coming year. Additionally, he estimated the company would operate at a level requiring 235,000 direct labor hours and 541,619 machine hours. Assume that Sinclair Company uses direct labor hours as its manufacturing overhead application base. Calculate the company's predetermined overhead rate. Company's predetermined overhead rate Assume that job 4375 required 280 direct labor hours to complete. How much manufacturing overhead should be applied to the job? Manufacturing overhead applied Assume that Sinclair Company uses machine hours as its manufacturing overhead application base. Calculate the company's predetermined overhead rate.

Explanation / Answer

predetermined overhead rate = $3,412,200/ 235,000

                                                  = $14.52/DLH

Manufactuirng overhead      = 280 *14.52 = $4,065.60

                                                 0r 4066

2) overhead rate - $3,412,200/541,619 = $6.30 per unit

     MOH              = 600*6.30 = $3780

predetermined overhead rate = $3,412,200/ 235,000

                                                  = $14.52/DLH

Manufactuirng overhead      = 280 *14.52 = $4,065.60

                                                 0r 4066

2) overhead rate - $3,412,200/541,619 = $6.30 per unit

     MOH              = 600*6.30 = $3780
