Answer:

See below

Explanation:

We will first determine the overhead rate

= cost of manufacturing overhead / cost driver

We will distribute the cost driver which is machine hours

$159,000/32,000 = $4.97

$4.97 fixed + $3 = $8 predetermined overhead rate

We will now apply this to job machine hours

Job machine hours 30

Overhead: machine hours x

Predetermined rate = 30 × 8 = $240

Total cost $1,320 + $660 direct material + $240 overhead = $2,220

Then,

Unit cost = Total cost/ unit

= $2,220/10

= $222

Selling price

= cost + 40% cost

= $222 + $88.8

= $283.50
