Homework Answers

Answer #1

A) The overhead rate for the year is calculated below:

The overhead rate for the year = Total overhead cost/Total Direct Labor Cost*100

= $210,000/$350,000*100

= 60%

The overhead rate for the year = 60%

B)The amount of direct labor costs is calculated below:

$
Ending Work in Process inventory account 41,000
Less: Direct Material Cost (20,000)
Direct labor and overhead Cost 21,000

So direct Direct labor Cost =  21,000 /160*100

= $131,25

So the amount of direct Direct labor Cost is $131,25
