Placker Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours. The company based its predetermined overhead rate for the current year on total fixed manufacturing overhead cost of $155,000, variable manufacturing overhead of $3.40 per machine-hour, and 50,000 machine-hours. Recently, Job A881 was completed with the following characteristics: Total machine-hours 100 Direct materials $ 645 Direct labor cost $2,300 The total job cost for Job A881 is closest to: (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)

Total cost= $3,595

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Estimated fixed overehad= $155,000

Estimated variable manufacturing overhead= $3.40 per machine-hour

Estimated machine-hours= 50,000

Job A881:

Total machine-hours 100

Direct materials $645

Direct labor cost $2,300

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= (155,000/50,000) + 3.4

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $6.5

Total cost= direct material + direct labor + allocated overhead

Total cost= 645 + 2,300 + (6.5*100)

Total cost= $3,595
