Explanation:

Computation of Predetermined overhead rate based on machine hours

Estimated fixed machine overhead                           $ 352,000

Estimated Machine Hours                                                32,000 hours

Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated fixed machine overhead/ Estimated Machine hours

$ 352,000 / 32000 machine hours  = $ 11 per machine hour

Computation of total costs of Job T687

Direct materials                                                                                        $   675

Direct labour Cost                                                                                    $ 1,350

Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 11 per machine hour * 40 hours       $   440

Variable manufacturing overhead $ 3 per machine hour * 40 hours   $   120

Total manufacturing cost of Job T 687                                                  $ 2,585

No of units in Job T 687                                                                          10 units    

Average cost per unit                                                                           $ 258.50

Computation of selling price

mark up on cost = 40 %

Selling price per unit     $ 258.50 * 140 %      =                                  $ 361.90

cognitive overload: having a lot on your mind impairs decision-making and tends to result in the simplest, but not necessarily best, option being selected.

empathy gaps: overlooking how you might feel in a different situation can result in unnecessary purchases, such as overbuying when shopping for food on an empty stomach.

optimism and overconfidence: wearing rose-tinted glasses and having unrealistic expectations about the future can affect money management and leave you unprepared for a change in circumstance.

instant gratification: seeking instant gratification drives impulsive spending and can undermine long-term planning and savings.

harmful habits: automatic or mindless behaviour can amplify a poor financial decision as it becomes a recurring event.

social norms: we are heavily influenced by the actions of others; while this can be in certain circumstances, it also contributes to the pressure to keep up with the joneses through conspicuous consumption.
