Determining job costcalculation of predetermined rate for applying overhead by direct labor cost and direct labor hour methods Beemer Products Inc. has its factory divided into three departments, with individual factory overhead rates for each department. In each department, all the operations are sufficiently alike for the department to be regarded as a cost center. The estimated monthly factory overhead for the departments is as follows: Forming, 64,000; Shaping, 36,000; and Finishing, 10,080. The estimated production data include the following: The job cost ledger shows the following data for X6, which was completed during the month: Required: Determine the cost of X6. Assume that the factory overhead is applied to production orders, based on the following: 1. Direct labor cost 2. Direct labor hours (Hint: You must first determine overhead rates for each department, rounding rates to the nearest cent.)
Primera Company produces two products and uses a predetermined overhead rate to apply overhead. Primera currently applies overhead using a plantwide rate based on direct labor hours. Consideration is being given to the use of departmental overhead rates where overhead would be applied on the basis of direct labor hours in Department 1 and on the basis of machine hours in Department 2. At the beginning of the year, the following estimates are provided: Actual results reported by department and product during the year are as follows: Required: 1. Compute the plantwide predetermined overhead rate and calculate the overhead assigned to each product. 2. Calculate the predetermined departmental overhead rates and calculate the overhead assigned to each product. 3. Using departmental rates, compute the applied overhead for the year. What is the under- or overapplied overhead for the firm? 4. Prepare the journal entry that disposes of the overhead variance calculated in Requirement 3, assuming it is not material in amount. What additional information would you need if the variance is material to make the appropriate journal entry?
Channel Products Inc. uses the job order cost system of accounting. The following is a list of the jobs completed during March, showing the charges for materials issued to production and for direct labor. Assume that factory overhead is applied on the basis of direct labor costs and that the predetermined rate is 200%. Required: Compute the amount of overhead to be added to the cost of each job completed during the month. Compute the total cost of each job completed during the month. Compute the total cost of producing all the jobs finished during the month.
The following information, taken from the books of Herman Brothers Manufacturing represents the operations for January: The job cost system is used, and the February cost sheet for Job M45 shows the following: The following actual information was accumulated during February: Required: 1. Using the January data, ascertain the predetermined factory overhead rates to be used during February, based on the following: a. Direct labor cost b. Direct labor hours c. Machine hours 2. Prepare a schedule showing the total production cost of Job M45 under each method of applying factory overhead. 3. Prepare the entries to record the following for February operations: a. The liability for total factory overhead. b. Distribution of factory overhead to the departments. c. Application of factory overhead to the work in process in each department, using direct labor hours. (Use the predetermined rate calculated in Requirement 1.) d. Closing of the applied factory overhead accounts. e. Recording under- and overapplied factory overhead and closing the actual factory overhead accounts.

Prepare the journal entry to transfer the cost of jobs completed to Finished Goods. d. Compute the unit cost of each job. e. Compute the selling price per unit for each job, assuming a mark-on percentage of 50%.
Overhead application rate Creole Manufacturing Inc. uses a job order cost system and standard costs. It manufactures one product, whose standard cost follows: The standards are based on normal capacity of 2,400 direct labor hours. Actual activity for October follows: Required: 1. Compute the variable and fixed factory overhead rates per unit. 2. Compute the variable and fixed overhead rates per direct labor hour. 3. Determine the total fixed factory overhead based on normal capacity.
