1.What is Bostons predetermined
manufacturing overhead rate
(PMOHR) based on direct labor
cost?
PMOHR = $67,200 / 4,200 = $16
26
E3-18A (cont.)
2. Calculate the manufacturing overhead to
be allocated based on direct labor cost to
each job.
Job 101:
PMOHR x direct labor hours used
$16 x 180 = $2,880
Manufacturing overhead of $2,880 will be
allocated to Job
101
Job 102:
PMOHR x direct labor hours used
$16 x 74 = $1,184
Manufacturing overhead of $1,184 will be
allocated to Job
102

Overhead Allocation
Example
FedCorp allocates manufacturing overhead
based on direct labor hours. Total estimated
manufacturing overhead for the year is
projected to be $200,000. Total estimated direct
labor cost is $140,000, whereas total estimated
direct labor hours to be worked are 10,000.

manufacturing overhead rate?

Why/How?
Estimated manufacturing overhead costs
were higher or lower than actual
Used more or less of the estimated

10, raw materials were requisitioned for production as
follows: 200 units for Job 101 at $12 per unit, and
300 units for Job 102 at $14 per unit.
Journalize the entry on March 5 to record the
purchase and on March 10 to record the requisition
from the materials storeroom.

Sale of Units
Assume Life Fitness sold 40 cross-trainers from Job 603 and all 60 treadmills
from Job 604 to the City of Westlake for its recreation centers. The sales
price was $1,425 for each cross-trainer and $2,500 for each treadmill.
