    Hi Bradley

    Estimated Direct Materials         29200
    Est Direct Labor                            56000
    Est Variable MOH                          16800  (60% of 28000)


    MOH - Variable   2250
    MOH-Fixed          1500
    Total                     3750

    2250/3750= 60%

    Hello Marlon & Bradley,

    Direct labor is the cost driver should be used to allocate only variable manufacturing OH (Exclude all fixed costs) 

    Var. MOH = $625 (Supplies) + $1,500 (Indirect labor) + $125 (Power) = $2,250 (Recent year income statement)
    Var. MOH driver rate = $2,250 / $7,500 = $0.30 per $1 DL (Or 30%)
    Estimated Variable MOH for new job order = $56,000 x 30% = $16,800

    Total variable manufacturing cost = $29,000 (DM) + $56,000 (DL) + $16,800 (DOH) = $102,000
    ​Total incremental cost = $102,000 / (1 - 0.1) = $113,333​

    Please accept my apologies, I intended to repeat the calculation in this way to give other students more clarity & explanation.

    Kind regards
