Answer:

$6,811

Explanation:

Job V had $9,900 of direct labor and $7,128 of overhead was applied to the job

= $9,900 ÷ $7,128

= $1.39 overhead rate.

This means that the application was based on taking $9,900 of Direct labor × $1.39 rate = $7,128 overhead

For Job W, take $4,900 DL × same $1.39 rate = $6,811

Therefore, the overhead cost to be applied to job w at year end is $6,811
