Kostelnik 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 $237,000, variable manufacturing overhead of $3.90 per machine-hour, and 30,000 machine-hours. The company has provided the following data concerning Job A496 which was recently completed: Number of units in the job 20 Total machine-hours 80 Direct materials $ 500 Direct labor cost $ 2,160 The amount of overhead applied to Job A496 is closest to: (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)

Allocated MOH= $944

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Estimated overhead= $237,000

Variable manufacturing overhead= $3.90 per machine-hour

Estimated machine-hours= 30,000 machine-hours.

Job A496:

Total machine-hours 80

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate, using the following formula:

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

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (237,000/30,000) + 3.9

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $11.8 per machine-hour

Now, we can allocate overhead:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated MOH= 11.8*80

Allocated MOH= $944

the interest will be $59.71
