A) $87,666
B) $68,920
C) $13,784
D) $82,704
Departmental Predetermined Overhead Rates
Rates calculated in advance for each department, used to assign overhead costs based on estimated activity levels.
Machine-Hours
A measure of the total time that machines are operating, often used as a basis for allocating manufacturing overhead costs.
Markup

- Become adept at determining selling prices by adding markups to the expenses incurred in manufacturing.
- Achieve command over the application of overhead through the use of predetermined department-specific rates, with machine-hours as the allocation criterion.
- Gain insights into the relationship between manufacturing overhead and selling prices.

Direct materials: $10,000
Direct labor: 200 hours x $12 per hour = $2,400
Manufacturing overhead:
Machine-hours in Department A = 750 hours
Department A predetermined overhead rate = $30 per machine-hour
Department A manufacturing overhead = 750 x $30 = $22,500
Machine-hours in Department B = 1,500 hours
Department B predetermined overhead rate = $20 per machine-hour
Department B manufacturing overhead = 1,500 x $20 = $30,000
Total manufacturing overhead = $22,500 + $30,000 = $52,500
Total manufacturing cost = $10,000 + $2,400 + $52,500 = $65,900
Markup of 20% on manufacturing cost = 20% x $65,900 = $13,180
Selling price = $65,900 + $13,180 = $79,080
Therefore, the closest calculated selling price for Job C is D) $82,704.
