Sigma Corporation applies overhead cost to jobs on the basis of direct labor cost. Job V, which was started and completed during the current period, shows charges of $6,700 for direct materials, $9,500 for direct labor, and $6,270 for overhead on its job cost sheet. Job W, which is still in process at year-end, shows charges of $4,100 for direct materials and $4,100 for direct labor. Required:
Calculate the overhead cost be added to Job W at year-end

Job W= $2,706

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate based on allocated overhead to Job V:

Job V:

Direct labor= $9,500

Allocated overhead= $6,270

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

6,270= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate*9,500

6,270/9,500= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $0.66 per direct labor dollar.

Now, for Job W:

Job W= 0.66*4,100

Job W= $2,706
