I have the following information: direct materials $250 and total manufacturing cost $700.  Overhead applied to jobs at a rate of 200% of direct labor cost.  This is for Chapter 2 job costing in managerial accounting.  I am supposed to figure out conversion cost, direct labor cost, and manufacturing overhead.    I know the formula for conversion cost= direct labor + manufacturing OH Prime cost= direct labor + direct materials How do I figure out direct labor cost with the given information?  The learning objective states calcualte predetermined overhead rate, but I do not have estimated manufacturing cost and estimated labor.  Can you please help? Thanks, Erica Gordon

Reggie builds the cabinets and work benches in his workshop, then installs them in clients' garages. Reggie figures his overhead for the coming year will be $12,000. Since his business is labor intensive, he plans to use direct labor hours as his overhead driver. For the coming year, he expects to complete 100 jobs, averaging 25 direct labor hours each. However, he has the capacity to complete 125 jobs averaging 25 direct labor hours each. Required: 1. Compute the predetermined overhead rates using each of the measures in your answer to Requirement 1. Round your answers to the nearest cent. Predetermined Overhead Rate Expected actual activity 3.18 x per hour Theoretical activity 2.55 x per hour 2. Which one would you recommend that Reggie use? Expected actual activity v
