Overhead Assignment: Actual and Normal Activity Compared Reynolds Printing Company specializes in wedding announcements. Reynolds uses an actual job-order costing system. An actual overhead rate is calculated at the end of each month using actual direct labor hours and overhead for the month. Once the actual cost of a job is determined, the customer is billed at actual cost plus 50%. During April, Mrs. Lucky, a good friend of owner Jane Reynolds, ordered three sets of wedding announcements to be delivered May 10, June 10, and July 10, respectively. Reynolds scheduled production for each order on May 7, June 7, and July 7, respectively. The orders were assigned job numbers 115, 116, and 117, respectively. Reynolds assured Mrs. Lucky that she would attend each of her daughters weddings. Out of sympathy and friendship, she also offered a lower price. Instead of cost plus 50%, she gave her a special price of cost plus 25%. Additionally, she agreed to wait until the final wedding to bill for the three jobs. On August 15, Reynolds asked her accountant to bring her the completed job-order cost sheets for Jobs 115, 116, and 117. She also gave instructions to lower the price as had been agreed upon. The cost sheets revealed the following information: Reynolds could not understand why the overhead costs assigned to Jobs 116 and 117 were so much higher than those for Job 115. She asked for an overhead cost summary sheet for the months of May, June, and July, which showed that actual overhead costs were 20,000 each month. She also discovered that direct labor hours worked on all jobs were 500 hours in May and 250 hours each in June and July. Required: 1. How do you think Mrs. Lucky will feel when she receives the bill for the three sets of wedding announcements? 2. Explain how the overhead costs were assigned to each job. 3. Assume that Reynoldss average activity is 500 hours per month and that the company usually experiences overhead costs of 240,000 each year. Can you recommend a better way to assign overhead costs to jobs? Recompute the cost of each job and its price, given your method of overhead cost assignment. Which method do you think is best? Why?
When setting its predetermined overhead application rate. Tasty Turtle estimated its overhead would be $75,000 and manufacturing would require 25,000 machine hours in the next year. At the end of the year, it found that actual overhead was $74,000 and manufacturing required 24,000 machine hours. Determine the predetermined overhead rate. What is the overhead applied during the year? Prepare the journal entry to eliminate the under- or over applied overhead.
PREDETERMINED FACTORY OVERHEAD RATE Marston Enterprises calculates a predetermined factory overhead rate so that factory overhead may be applied to production during the month. It calculates the overhead using three different methods and then decides which one to use. Total estimated factory overhead costs are 600,000. Total estimated direct labor hours are 30,000. Total estimated direct labor costs are 1,200,000. Total machine hours are estimated to be 200,000. Calculate the predetermined overhead application rates based on (1) direct labor hours, (2) direct labor costs, and (3) machine hours.
Event Forms expects $120,000 in overhead during the next year. It doesn't know whether it should apply overhead on the basis of its anticipated direct labor hours of 6,000 or its expected machine hours of 5,000. What would be the product cost under each predetermined allocation rate if the last job incurred $3,500 in direct material cost, 55 direct labor hours, and 55 machine hours? Wages are paid at $17 per hour.
Applying factory overhead Bergan Company estimates that total factory overhead costs will be 620,000 for the year. Direct labor hours are estimated to be 80,000. For Bergan Company, (A) determine the predetermined factory overhead rate using direct labor hours as the activity base, (B) determine the amount of factory overhead applied to Jobs 200 and 305 in May using the data on direct labor hours from BE 16-2, and (C) prepare the journal entry to apply factory overhead to both jobs in May according to the predetermined overhead rate.
PREDETERMINED FACTORY OVERHEAD RATE Millerlile Enterprises calculates a predetermined factory overhead rate so that factory overhead may be applied to production during the month. It calculates the overhead using three different methods and then decides which one to use. Total estimated factory overhead costs are 540,000. Total estimated direct labor hours are 50,000. Total estimated direct labor costs are 900,000. Total machine hours are estimated to be 80,000. Calculate the predetermined overhead application rates based on (1) direct labor hours, (2) direct labor costs, and (3) machine hours.
Predetermined factory overhead rate Poehling Medical Center has a single operating room that is used by local physicians to perform surgical procedures. The cost of using the operating room is accumulated by each patient procedure and includes the direct materials costs (drugs and medical devices), physician surgical time, and operating room overhead. On January 1 of the current year, the annual operating room overhead is estimated to be: The overhead costs will be assigned to procedures, based on the number of surgical room hours. Poehling Medical Center expects to use the operating room an average of eight hours per day, seven days per week. In addition, the operating room will be shut down two weeks per year for general repairs. A. Determine the predetermined operating room overhead rate for the year. B. Bill Harris had a five-hour procedure on January 22. How much operating room overhead would be charged to his procedure, using the rate determined in part (A)? C. During January, the operating room was used 240 hours. The actual overhead costs incurred for January were 67,250. Determine the overhead under- or overapplied for the period.
Overhead application rate Roll Tide Manufacturing Inc. uses a job order cost system and standard costs.
