Huron Manufacturing Co. uses a job order cost system to cost its products. It recently signed a new contract with the union that calls for time-and-a-half for all work over 40 hours a week and double-time for Saturday and Sunday. Also, a bonus of 1% of the employees earnings for the year is to be paid to the employees at the end of the fiscal year. The controller, the plant manager, and the sales manager disagree as to how the overtime pay and the bonus should be allocated. An examination of the first months payroll under the new union contract provisions shows the following: Analysis of the supporting payroll documents revealed the following: a. More production was scheduled each day than could be handled in a regular workday, resulting in the need for overtime. b. The Saturday and Sunday hours resulted from rush orders with special contract arrangements with the customers. The controller believes that the overtime premiums and the bonus should be charged to factory overhead and spread over all production of the accounting period, regardless of when the jobs were completed. The plant manager favors charging the overtime premiums directly to the jobs worked on during overtime hours and the bonus to administrative expense. The sales manager states that the overtime premiums and bonus are not factory costs chargeable to regular production but are costs created from administrative policies and, therefore, should be charged only to administrative expense. Required: 1. Evaluate each positionthe controllers, the plant managers, and the sales managers. If you disagree with all of the positions taken, present your view of the appropriate allocation. 2. Prepare the journal entries to illustrate the position you support, including the accrual for the bonus.
R. Herbert of Crestview Manufacturing Co. is paid at the rate of 20 an hour for an eight-hour day, with time-and-a-half for overtime and double-time for Sundays and holidays. Regular employment is on the basis of 40 hours a week, five days a week. At the end of a week, the labor time record shows the following: Because jobs are randomly scheduled for the overtime period, any overtime premium is charged to Factory Overhead. a. Compute Herberts total earnings for the week. b. Present the journal entry to distribute Herberts total earnings. (Note: These single journal entries here and in E3-2, E3-3, E3-4, E3-8 and E3-9 are for the purpose of illustrating the principle involved. Normally, the entries would be made for the total factory payroll plus the administrative and sales payroll.)

All overtime premium pay, except Klembara's, is chargeable to the job, and all employees, including Klembara, receive time-and-a-half for overtime hours. Required: 1. Calculate the total payroll and total net earnings for the week.Assume that an 18% deduction for federal income tax is requiredin addition to FICA deductions. Assume that none of the employees has achieved the maximums for FICA and unemploymenttaxes. 2. Prepare the journal entries to record and pay the payroll. 3. Prepare the journal entry to distribute the payroll to the appropriate accounts. 4. Determine the dollar amount of labor that is chargeable toeach van, assuming that the overtime costs are proportionateto the regular hours used on the vans. (First compute an average labor rate for each worker, including overtime premium,and then use that rate to charge all workers' hours to vans.)Round the labor rates to the nearest whole cent.
