Max Company allocates overhead based on direct labor hours. It allocates overhead costs of $13,800 to two different jobs as follows: Job 1: (10 hours) = $6,900; Job 2: (10 hours) = $6,900 The production process for Job 2 was then automated. Now Job 2 requires only 2 hours of direct labor but 4 hours of mechanical processing. As a result, total overhead increases to $18,600. With the change in the production process for Job 2, the amount of overhead assigned to:

Allocated MOH= $1,380

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the predetermined allocation rate per direct labor hour:

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

6,900 = Estimated manufacturing overhead rate*10

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $690 per direct labor hour

Now, we can allocate overhead for Job 2:

Allocated MOH= 690*2

Allocated MOH= $1,380

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.
