Jonathan Mfg. adopted a job-costing system. For the current year, budgeted cost driver activity levels for direct labor hours and direct labor costs were 20,000 and $100,000, respectively. In addition, budgeted variable and fixed factory overhead were $50,000 and $25,000, respectively. Actual costs and hours for the year were as follows:Direct labor hours 21,000Direct labor costs $110,000Machine hours 35,000For a particular job,1,500 direct labor hours were used. Using direct labor hours as the cost driver, what amount of overhead should be applied to this job?A. $5,625B. $5,357C. $7,500D. $3,214

C. $ 7,500

Explanation:

Estimated direct labor cost                                                       $ 100,000

Estimated direct labor hours                                                          20,000 hours

Predetermined rate per direct labor hours                  $ 5 per direct labor hour

Actual hours used on a job                                                             1,500 hours

Applied overhead based on the predetermined overhead

rate per direct labor hours

$ 5 per direct labor hours * 1,500 hours                                         $ 7,500
