So I’ve asked this question already but the answer I got wasn’t very clear at all. I’ve highlighted the picture so that you can see more specifically what I’m asking. In the first picture were the machine hours, direct labor hours, total fixed manufacturing overhead, variable manufacturing overhead per machine hour, variable manufacturing overhead per direct labor hour is all listed- I know I use those numbers in the equation that is on the bottom of the page, the predetermined overhead rate formula. My question is regarding the chart that is in the middle of that page. It is titled job 407 and it lists machine hours as 90 for milling And 4 for assembly. Underneath that it lists direct labor hours as 5 for milling and 20 for assembly. I am asking specifically where those numbers have come from and how they have calculated those amounts. I have highlighted the charts for you. 76Chapter 2ebodeEXHIBIT 2-5Dickson Company: An Example Using Multiple Predetermined Overhead RatesStep 1: Calculate the estimated total manufacturing overhead cost for each department.Milling Department Overhead Cost (Y):Assembly Department Overhead Cost (Y):= $390,000 + ($2.00 per MH x 60,000 MHs)= $390,000 + $120,000= $510,000= $500,000 + ($3.75 per DLH x 80,000 DLHS)= $500,000 + $300,000$800,000Step 2: Calculate the predetermined overhead rate in each department.Milling Department Overhead Rate:Assembly Department Overhead Rate:$510,00060,000 machine-hours$800,00080,000 direct labor-hours= $8.50 per machine-hour= $10.00 per direct labor-hourStep 3: Calculate the amount of overhead applied from both departments to Job 407.Milling Department: Overhead Applied to Job 407= $8.50 per MH x 90 MHs= $765Assembly Department: Overhead Applied to Job 407= $10.00 per DLH x 20 DLHs= $200Step 4: Calculate the total job cost for Job 407.MillingAssemblyTotalDirect materials$800$370$1,170...... .....Direct labor$70$280350Manufacturing overhead applied ...Total cost of Job 407 .............$765$200965$2,485Step 5: Calculate the selling price for Job 407.Total cost of Job 407$2,485.00Markup ($2,485 x 75%)1,863.75Selling price of Job 407$4,348.75As depicted in the middle of Exhibit 2-5, $765 of manufacturing overhead would beapplied from the Milling Department to Job 407, whereas $200 would be applied fromthe Assembly Department to this same job.Finally, Exhibit 2-5 also summarizes steps 4 and 5, which calculate the total job costfor Job 407 ($2,485) and the selling price of Job 407 ($4,348.75) using the markup per-centage of 75%.It is important to emphasize that using a departmental approach to overhead applica-tion results in a different selling price for Job 407 than would have been derived using aplantwide overhead rate based on either direct labor-hours or machine-hours.

So I’ve asked this question already but the answer I got wasn’t very clear at all. I’ve highlighted the picture so that you can see more specifically what I’m asking. In the first picture were the machine hours, direct labor hours, total fixed manufacturing overhead, variable manufacturing overhead per machine hour, variable manufacturing overhead per direct labor hour is all listed- I know I use those numbers in the equation that is on the bottom of the page, the predetermined overhead rate formula. My question is regarding the chart that is in the middle of that page￼. It is titled job 407 and it lists machine hours as 90 for milling And 4 for assembly.
