Chapter 3, Problem 3.6EYCT

I need help with accounting question

I am looking for the most effective method for solving this financial accounting problem.

Superior Manufacturing uses a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor hours to allocate manufacturing overhead to production jobs. For 2024, the company's budget includes estimated manufacturing overhead of $720,000 and estimated direct labor hours of 20,000. In March, the production department completed Job #304, which required $8,200 in direct materials and $4,500 in direct labor (representing 250 hours at $18 per hour). The cost accountant needs to determine the predetermined overhead rate, the manufacturing overhead allocated to Job #304, and the total cost of this job.
