Adams manufacturing allocates overhead to production on the basis of direct labor costs. at the beginning of the year, adams estimated total overhead of $343,500; materials of 419,000 and direct labor of $229,000. during the year adams incurred $427,000 in materials costs, $414,100 in overhead costs and $233,000 in direct labor costs. compute the amount of overhead applied to jobs during the year.

Applied overhead 349,500

Explanation:

To calculate the manufacturing overhead rate we will distribute the expected overhead cost over a cost driver.

For this case, the overhead will be 343,500

and the cost driver is the direct labor cost 229,000

overhead rate: 343,500 / 229,000 = 1.5

Applied overhead during the year:

actual cost driver x predeterminate rate

actual labor cost  233,000 x 1.5 = 349,500

answer: a. the kind of population living in your neighbourhood.

the census explorer data tool by the us census bureau allows the user to zoom in on any neighbourhood within the united states and find the kind of people residing in that by race and age.  

the tool needs to needs to be used twice – once in order to find what type of people reside in a neighbourhood, and then to see the age groups of the people in the same neighbourhood.
