Answer 1

Answer:

Instructions are listed below

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

At the beginning of the year, Yancey made the following estimates: Direct labor= $ 8,050,000

Fixed overhead cost $ 4,830,000

Variable overhead cost per direct labor-dollar $ 0.23

1) Predetermined overhead rate= Estimated total manufacturing overhead cost/ Estimated total amount of allocation base

Predetermined overhead rate=(483000 + 0.23*8050000)/8050000

Predetermined overhead rate= 2334500/8050000= $0.29

2)  Direct materials $ 1,284,000

Direct labor cost $ 2,415,000

Manufacturing overhead= 2415000*0.29= $700,350

Total cost= 1284000 + 2415000 + 700350= $4,399,350
