Question

Pointe Claire Company applies overhead based on direct labour hours. Two direct labour hours are required for each unit of product. Planned production for the period was set at 8,300 units. Manufacturing overhead is budgeted at $124,500 for the period (20% of this cost is fixed). The 16,290 hours worked during the period resulted in the production of 8,000 units. The variable manufacturing overhead cost incurred was $100,800 and the fixed manufacturing overhead cost was $28,400.
