Problem 4-30
Maverick Wings, Inc. manufactures airplanes for use in stunt shows. Maverick's factory is highly automated, using the latest in robotic technology. To keep costs low, the company employs as few factory workers as possible. Since each plane has different features (such as its shape, weight, and color), Maverick uses a job order costing system to accumulate product costs.

| Budgeted overhead cost |
|
$1,132,000 |
