Trenton worked on four jobs during its first year of operation: nos. 401, 402, 403, and 404. A
review of job no. 403's cost record revealed direct material charges of $40,900 and total

estimated total payroll cost divided equally among all jobs in process.
actual total payroll cost divided equally among all jobs in process.
an estimate of the total time spent on the job.
the estimated time spent on each job multiplied by the wage rate.

Manufacturing overhead:
is easily traced to jobs.
is a pool of indirect production costs that must somehow be attached to each unit
manufactured.
includes direct materials, indirect materials, indirect labor, and factory depreciation.
includes all selling costs.
should not be assigned to individual jobs because it bears no obvious relationship to them.
