Savallas Company is highly automated and uses computers to control manufacturing operations. The company uses a job-order costing system and applies manufacturing overhead cost to products on the basis of computer-hours. The following estimates were used in preparing the predetermined overhead rate at the beginning of the year:

 

    
  Computer-hours 85,000  
  Fixed manufacturing overhead cost$1,275,000  
  Variable manufacturing overhead per computer-hour$3.00  

 

    During the year, a severe economic recession resulted in cutting back production and a buildup of inventory in the company’s warehouse. The company’s cost records revealed the following actual cost and operating data for the year:

 

    
  Computer-hours 60,000  
  Manufacturing overhead cost$1,350,000  
  Inventories at year-end:  
     Raw materials$400,000  
     Work in process$160,000  
     Finished goods$1,040,000  
  Cost of goods sold$2,800,000
