Question

The Canadian Company in Dubai uses a job-costing system at its production plant. The plant has a machining department and an assembly department.

 

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?

 

 

 

 

 

  1. 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

 

30

 

105

 

Machine-hours

210

30

 

Compute the total manufacturing overhead cost allocated to Job 123.

 

  1. Assume that Job 123 produced 450 units, calculate the cost per unit.

 

 

  1. Assume the following amounts appeared at the end of 2020:

 

Production plant

Machine department

Assembly department

Manufacturing overhead costs incurred

 

15 000 000

 

11 973 000

 

Direct manufacturing labor costs

 

1 545 000

 

6 150 000

 

Machine-hours

300 000

51 000

 

5          Compute the under- or overallocated manufacturing overhead for each department and for the production plant as a whole.
