    Fixed overhead application rate

    = Budgeted fixed overhead

    Budgeted direct labour hours

    = $114,000

    60,000 hrs

    = $1.90 per direct labour hour

    Amount of overhead applied to job X387: $

    Variable overhead $4.90 x 170 hours = 833

    Fixed overhead $1.90 x 170 hours = 323

    1,156

    Explanation:

    In this case, there is need to calculate the fixed overhead application rate based on direct labour hours by dividing the the budgeted fixed overhead by budgeted direct labour hours. Then, we will calculate the overhead applied to Job X387 by multiplying the fixed and variable application rate by actual direct labour hours of 170 hours.
