The estimated total manufacturing overhead is closest to:

B) $432,000

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Job A578:

Total direct labor-hours 250

Direct materials $ 715

Direct labor cost $ 9,000

Total estimated fixed manufacturing overhead = $160,000

Variable manufacturing overhead = $3.40 per direct labor-hour

Direct labor-hours = 80,000

Total estimated variable manufacturing overhead = $272,000 (80,000 * $3.40)

Total estimated manufacturing overhead = $432,000 ($272,000 + $160,000)

Fixed manufacturing overhead rate = $2 ($160,000/80,000)

Overhead applied to Job A578:

Variable overhead $3.40 * 250 = $850

Fixed overhead $2.00 * 250 =       500

Total overhead applied to job =   $1,350
