Question 174285: Can someone please help me with this problem:
A company allocated overhead on the basis of direct labor hours. It allocated overhead costs of $4,000 to two different jobs as follows:
Job 1:(10 hours) = $2,000
Job 2:(10 hours) = $2,000
Assume that, then the production process for Job 1 was automated. Now Job 1 requires only 2 hours of direct labor but four hours of mechanical processing. As a result, total overhead increased to $6,000. How much overhead cost will be assigned to Job 2 after automation?
$1,000
$2,000
$3,000
$5,000
