9 | Direct Labour cost | $50.00 | $150.00 |
Enter a formula into each of the cells marked with ? below | |||
Step 1: Calculate the estimated total manufacturing overhead cost for each department | |||
Milling | Assembly | ||
10 | Total fixed manufacturing overhead (given) | $3,00,000.00 | $5,00,000.00 |
11 | Variable manufacturing overhead per machine hour or direct labour hour (given) | $2.00 | $3.75 |
12 | Total machine hours or direct labour hours (given) | 60000 | 50000 |
13 | Total Variable manufacturing overhead (11 x 12) | $1,20,000.00 | $1,87,500.00 |
14 | Total manufacturing overhead (10 + 13) | $4,20,000.00 | $6,87,500.00 |
Step 2: Calculate the pre-determined overhead rate in each department | |||
Milling | Assembly | ||
15 | Total manufacturing overhead (14) | $4,20,000.00 | $6,87,500.00 |
16 | Total machine hours or direct labour hours (given) | 60000 | 50000 |
17 | Pre-determined overhead rate per machine hour or direct labour hour (15 divided by 16) | $7.00 | $13.75 |
Step 3: Calculate the amount of overhead applied to both departments to Job 408 | |||
Milling | Assembly | ||
18 | Pre-determined overhead rate per machine hour or direct labour hour (17) | $7.00 | $13.75 |
19 | Machine hours or direct labour hours for the job (given) | 40 | 6 |
20 | Manufacturing overhead applied (18 x 19) | $280.00 | $82.50 |
Step 4: Calculate the total job cost for Job 408 | |||
Milling | Assembly | ||
21 | Direct Materials (given) | $700.00 | $360.00 |
22 | Direct Labour cost (given) | $50.00 | $150.00 |
23 | Manufacturing overhead applied (20) | $280.00 | $82.50 |
24 | Total cost of Job 407 (21 + 22 + 23) | $1,030.00 | $592.50 |
Total cost of Job 407 (Milling + Assembly) | $1,622.50 | ||
Step 5: Calculate the selling price for Job 408 | |||
Milling | Assembly | ||
25 | Total cost of Job 407 ( 24) | $1,030.00 | $592.50 |
26 | Mark-up (24 x 75%) | $772.50 | $444.38 |
27 | Selling price of Job 407 (25 + 26 ) | $1,802.50 | $1,036.88 |
28 | Total Selling Price of Job 408 (Milling + Assembly) | $2,839.38 |
When the direct labor hours are reduced from 80000 hours to 50000 hours, the cost increases since the pre-determined rate per direct labor hour increases from $10 to $13.75. As a result of which the total cost increases leading to an ultimate increase in the selling price.
Since selling price is calculated as per the Cost plus Markup method it is directly related to an increase or a decrease in the cost.
