Graham Manufacturing is a small manufacturer that uses machine-hours as its activity base
for assigned overhead costs to jobs. The company estimated the following amounts for 2013
for the company and for Job 62:
Company Job 62
Direct materials Php60,000 Php4,500
Direct labor Php25,000 Php2,500
Manufacturing overhead costs Php72,000
Machine hours 80,000 1,350
During 2013, the actual machine-hours totaled 84,000, and actual overhead costs were
Php71,000.
Instructions
(a) Compute the predetermined overhead rate.
(b) Compute the total manufacturing costs for Job 62.
(c) How much overhead is over or underapplied for the year for the company? State amount and
whether it is over- or underapplied.
(d) If Graham Manufacturing sells Job 62 for Php14,000, compute the gross profit.
Solution (7–9 min.)
(a) Php72,000 80,000 = Php0.90 per machine hour
(b) Php4,500 + Php2,500 + (Php0.90 × 1,350) = Php8,215
(c) Actual – Applied = Over/Underapplied
Php71,000 – (Php0.90 × 84,000) = Php4,600 overapplied
(d) Php14,000 – Php8,215 (from (b) above) = Php5,785
