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
(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?
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?

Budget performance report for a cost center Sneed Industries Company sells vehicle parts to manufacturers of heavy construction equipment. The Crane Division is organized as a cost center. The budget for the Crane Division for the month ended August 31, 20Y6, is as follows (in thousands): During August, the costs incurred in the Crane Division were as follows: Instructions For which costs might the director be expected to request supplemental reports?
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.
Activity-based department rate product costing and product cost distortions Big Sound Inc. manufactures two products: receivers and loud-speakers. The factory overhead incurred is as follows: Indirect labor 400,400 Cutting Department 198,800 Finishing Department 114,800 Total 714,000 The activity base associated with the two production departments is direct labor hours. The indirect labor can be assigned to two different activities as follows: Activity Budgeted Activity Cost Activity Base Setup 138,600 Number of setup Quality Control 261,800 Number of inspections Total 400,400 The activity-base usage quantities and units produced for the two products follow: Number o Setup Number of Inspections Direct Labor HoursSubassembly Direct Labor HoursFinal Assembly Units Produced Snowboards 430 5,000 4,000 2,000 6,000 Skis _70 2,500 2,000 4,000 6,000 Total 500 7,500 6,000 6,000 12,000 Instructions 1. Determine the factory overhead rates under the multiple production department rate method. Assume that indirect labor is associated with the production departments, so that the total factory overhead is 5420,000 and 294,000 for the Subassembly and Final Assembly departments, respectively. 2. Determine the total and per-unit factory overhead costs allocated to each product, using the multiple production department overhead rates in (1). 3. Determine the activity rates, assuming that the indirect labor is associated with activities rather than with the production departments. 4. Determine the total and per-unit cost assigned to each product under activity-based costing. 5. Explain the difference in the per-unit overhead allocated to each product under the multiple production department factory overhead rate and activity-based costing methods.
