Actual costing, normal costing, accounting for manufacturing overhead. Destin Products uses a job-costing system with two direct-cost categories (direct materials and direct manufacturing labor) and one manufacturing overhead cost pool.

1. Compute the actual and budgeted manufacturing overhead rates for 2009.

2. During March, the job-cost record for Job 626 contained the following information:

Direct materials used $40,000

Direct manufacturing labor costs $30,000
