Question

Last question 4)

The company uses normal costing with two direct-cost categories:

 

  • Direct materials
  • Direct manufacturing labor

 

Furthermore, the company uses two manufacturing overhead cost pools:

 

  • Machining department with machine- hours as the allocation base
  • Assembly department with direct manufacturing labor costs as the allocation base.

 

The budget for the plant in 2020 is as follows:

Production plant

Machine department

Assembly department

Manufacturing overhead costs

 

13 597 500

 

12 271 500

 

Direct manufacturing labor costs

 

1 455 000

 

6 075 000

 

Direct manufacturing labor-hours

 

54 000

 

22 500

 

Machine-hours

277 500

55 500

 

 

  1. What is the budgeted manufacturing overhead rate in the machining and the assembly department?

 

Overhead is the direct cost involved in the production process of the business of the company

Calculation of budgeted manufacturing overhead rate in machine department:

Budgeted manufacturing overhead rate

=manufacturing overhead costs/ machine-hours

=13597500/277500

=49$

Calculation of budgeted manufacturing overhead rate in assembly department:

Budgeted manufacturing overhead rate=manufacturing overhead costs/labour-hours

=12,271,500/22,500

=545.40$

 

 

 

 

During the month of January 2020, the job-cost record for Job 123 shows the following:

 

 

 

Job 123:

 

Machine Department

Assembly Department

Manufacturing overhead costs

 

19,500

 

7,500

 

Direct manufacturing labor costs

 

1,350

 

1,875

 

Direct manufacturing labor-hours
