Question 13: Problem 1 - Mars Manufacturing produces a basic cellphone as a contract manufacturer. Overhead is applied at a rate of $42 per direct labor hour. The direct labor rate is $18 per hour. In March, there was no beginning or ending work in process, and the assembly department produced 20,000 finished phones.

Calculate the total cost of production in the month of March and the cost per unit for each phone produced. Determine if overhead was over applied or under applied and by what amount.

Problem 2 - BewlayBrothers  Manufacturing produces wooden chairs. The cutting department produces all of the component parts and transfers the parts to the assembly department.

The overhead is applied on a per-chair basis at a rate of $6 per chair. Job No. 1 was for 1,000 chairs, and it was started and completed during the month. Job No. 2 was for 1,500 chairs, and it was 60% complete at month end.

Calculate the costs to complete Job No. 1 and the unit cost per chair. Calculate the costs charged as of month's end and the equivalent units of production for Job No. 2.
