(Appendix 4A) Overhead Application, Journal Entries, Job Cost At the beginning of the year, Smith Company budgeted overhead of 129,600 as well as 13,500 direct labor hours. During the year, Job K456 was completed with the following information: direct materials cost, 2,750; direct labor cost, 5,355. The average wage for Smith Company employees is 17 per hour. By the end of the year, 18,100 direct labor hours had actually been worked, and Smith incurred the following actual overhead costs for the year: Required: 1. Calculate the overhead rate for the year. 2. Calculate the total cost of Job K456. 3. Prepare the journal entries to record actual overhead and to apply overhead to production for the year. 4. Is overhead overapplied or underapplied? By how much? 5. Assuming that the normal cost of goods sold for the year is 635,600, what is the adjusted cost of goods sold?
A company estimates its manufacturing overhead will be $750,000 for the next year. What is the predetermined overhead rate given the following independent allocation bases? Budgeted direct labor hours: 60,000 Budgeted direct labor expense: $1,500,000 Estimated machine hours: 100,000
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.
(Appendix 4A) Journal Entries, Job Costs The following transactions occurred during the month of April for Nelson Company: a. Purchased materials costing 4,610 on account. b. Requisitioned materials totaling 4,800 for use in production, 3,170 for Job 518 and the remainder for Job 519. c. Recorded 65 hours of direct labor on Job 518 and 90 hours on Job 519 for the month. Direct laborers are paid at the rate of 14 per hour. d. Applied overhead using a plantwide rate of 6.20 per direct labor hour. e. Incurred and paid in cash actual overhead for the month of 973. f. Completed and transferred Job 518 to Finished Goods. g. Sold on account Job 517, which had been completed and transferred to Finished Goods in March, for cost (2,770) plus 25%. Required: 1. Prepare journal entries for Transactions a through e. 2. Prepare job-order cost sheets for Jobs 518 and 519. Prepare journal entries for Transactions f and g. (Note: Round to the nearest dollar.) 3. Prepare a schedule of cost of goods manufactured for April. Assume that the beginning balance in the raw materials account was 1,025 and that the beginning balance in the work-in-process account was zero.
Factory overhead rate Fabricator Inc., a specialized equipment manufacturer, uses a job order cost system. The overhead is allocated to jobs on the basis of direct labor hours. The overhead rate is now $3,000 per direct labor hour. The design engineer thinks that this is illogical. The design engineer has stated the following: Our accounting system doesn't make any sense to me. It tells me that every labor hour carries an additional burden of $3,000. This means that while direct labor makes up only 5% of our total product cost, it drives all our costs. In addition, these rates give my design engineers incentives to "design out" direct labor by using machine technology. Yet, over the past years as we have had less and less direct labor, the overhead rate keeps going up and up. I won't be surprised if next year the rate is $4,000 per direct labor hour. I'm also concerned because small errors in our estimates of the direct labor content can have a large impact on our estimated costs. Just a 30~minute error in our estimate of assembly time is worth $ 1,500. Small mistakes in our direct labor time estimates really swing our bids around. I think this puts us at a disadvantage when we are going after business. What do you think is a possible solution?
