Determine companys predetermined overhead application rate


Birmingham Bowling Ball Company (BBBC) uses a job-order costing system to accumulate manufacturing costs. The company's work-in-process on December 31, 20x3, consisted of one job (no. 3088), which was carried on the year-end balance sheet at $156,800. There was no finished-goods inventory on this date.

BBBC applies manufacturing overhead to production on the basis of direct-labor cost. (The budgeted direct-labor cost is the company's practical capacity, in terms of direct-labor hours, multiplied by the budgeted direct-labor rate.) Budgeted totals for 20x4 for direct labor and manufacturing overhead are $4,200,000 and $5,544,000 respectively. Actual results for the year follow.

Direct material used              $5,500,000

Direct labor                            4,350,000

Indirect material used             64,000

Indirect labor                        2,860,000

Factory depreciation             1,740,000

Factory insurance                    57,000

Factory utilities                       830,000

Selling and administrative expenses 2,160,000

Total $17,561,000

Job no. 3088 was completed in January 20x4; there was no work in process at year-end. All jobs produced during 20x4 were sold with the exception of job no. 3154, which contained direct-material costs of $155,000 and direct-labor charges of $85,000. BBBC charges any under- or overapplied overhead to Cost of Goods Sold.
