Answer 1

1) Calculate unit product cost

Direct material	690
Direct labor	1370
Overhead (610000/30500+6)*30	780
Total Cost	2840
Unit	10
Unit product cost	284

So answer is d) $284

2) Predetermine overhead rate = (945606/35900+4.8) = 31.14 per MH

So answer is a) $31.14 per machine-hour

3) Journal entry

No	General Journal	Debit	Credit
1	Finished goods	58000
	Work in process		58000
2	Cost of goods sold	64000
	Finished goods		64000

So answer is c) credit to Work in Process of $58,000

4) Overhead applied = 240600/5600*4900 = 210504

Actual overhead = 242600

Under applied overhead = 210504-242600 = 32096

So answer is b) $32,096 underapplied
