York Company Is a machine shop that estimated overhead will be $50,000, consisting of 5,000 hours of direct labor. The cost to make job 0325 is $70 in aluminum and two hours of labor at $20 per hour. During the month. York incurs $50 in indirect material cost. $150 in administrative labor, $300 in utilities, and $250 in depreciation expense. What is the predetermined overhead rate if direct labor hours are considered the cost driver? What is the cost of Job 0325? What is the overhead incurred during the month?
One of the tennis rackets that Ace Sporting Goods manufactures is a titanium model (Slam) that sells for 149. The cost of each Slam consists of: Job 100 produced 100 Slams, of which six were spoiled and classified as seconds. Seconds are sold to discount stores for 50 each. Required: 1. Under the assumption that the loss from spoilage will be distributed to all jobs produced during the current period, use general journal entries to (a) record the costs of production, (b) put spoiled goods into inventory, and (c) record the cash sale of spoiled units. 2. Under the assumption that the loss due to spoilage will be charged to Job 100, use general journal entries to (a) record the costs of production, (b) put spoiled goods into inventory, and (c) record the cash sale of spoiled units.
Luna Manufacturing Inc. completed Job 2525 on May 31, and there were no jobs in process in the plant. Prior to June 1, the predetermined overhead application rate for June was computed from the following data, based on an estimate of 5,000 direct labor hours: The factory has one production department and uses the direct labor hour method to apply factory overhead. Three jobs are started during the month, and postings are made daily to the job cost sheets from the materials requisitions and labor-time records. The following schedule shows the jobs and amounts posted to the job cost sheets: The factory overhead control account was debited during the month for actual factory overhead expenses of 27,000. On June 11, Job 2526 was completed and delivered to the customer using a mark-on percentage of 50% on manufacturing cost. On June 24, Job 2527 was completed and transferred to Finished Goods. On June 30, Job 2528 was still in process. Required: 1. Prepare job cost sheets for Jobs 2526, 2527, and 2528, including factory overhead applied when the job was completed or at the end of the month for partially completed jobs. 2. Prepare journal entries as of June 30 for the following: a. Applying factory overhead to production. b. Closing the applied factory overhead account. c. Closing the factory overhead account. d. Transferring the cost of the completed jobs to finished goods. e. Recording the cost of the sale and the sale of Job 2526.
Compute the total job cost for each of the following scenarios: a. If the direct labor cost method is used in applying factory overhead and the predetermined rate is 100%, what amount should be charged to Job 2010 for factory overhead? Assume that direct materials used totaled 5,000 and that the direct labor cost totaled 3,200. b. If the direct labor hour method is used in applying factory overhead and the predetermined rate is 10 an hour, what amount should be charged to Job 2010 for factory overhead? Assume that the direct materials used totaled 5,000, the direct labor cost totaled 3,200, and the number of direct labor hours totaled 250. c. If the machine hour method is used in applying factory overhead and the predetermined rate is 12.50 an hour, what amount should be charged to Job 2010 for factory overhead? Assume that the direct materials used totaled 5,000, the direct labor cost totaled 3,200, the direct labor hours were 250 hours, and the machine hours were 295 hours.
Brees, Inc., a manufacturer of golf carts, has just received an offer from a supplier to provide 2,600 units of a component used in its main product. The component is a track assembly that is currently produced internally. The supplier has offered to sell the track assembly for 66 per unit. Brees is currently using a traditional, unit-based costing system that assigns overhead to jobs on the basis of direct labor hours. The estimated traditional full cost of producing the track assembly is as follows: Prior to making a decision, the companys CEO commissioned a special study to see whether there would be any decrease in the fixed overhead costs. The results of the study revealed the following: 3 setups1,160 each (The setups would be avoided, and total spending could be reduced by 1,160 per setup.) One half-time inspector is needed. The company already uses part-time inspectors hired through a temporary employment agency. The yearly cost of the part-time inspectors for the track assembly operation is 12,300 and could be totally avoided if the part were purchased. Engineering work: 470 hours, 45/hour. (Although the work decreases by 470 hours, the engineer assigned to the track assembly line also spends time on other products, and there would be no reduction in his salary.) 75 fewer material moves at 30 per move. Required: 1. Ignore the special study, and determine whether the track assembly should be produced internally or purchased from the supplier. 2. Now, using the special study data, repeat the analysis. 3. Discuss the qualitative factors that would affect the decision, including strategic implications. 4. After reviewing the special study, the controller made the following remark: This study ignores the additional activity demands that purchasing would cause. For example, although the demand for inspecting the part on the production floor decreases, we may need to inspect the incoming parts in the receiving area. Will we actually save any inspection costs? Is the controller right?

Shumaker Company manufactures a line of high-top basketball shoes. At the beginning of the year, the following plans for production and costs were revealed: During the year, a total of 50,000 units were produced and sold. The following actual costs were incurred: There were no beginning or ending inventories of raw materials.

Using a flexible budget, prepare a performance report comparing expected costs for the actual production with actual costs. 2. Determine the following: (a) Fixed overhead spending and volume variances and (b) Variable overhead spending and efficiency variances.
Lloyd Industries manufactures electrical equipment from specifications received from customers. Job X10 was for 1,000 motors to be used in a specially designed electrical complex. The followingcosts were determined for each motor: At final inspection, Lloyd discovered that 33 motors did not meet the exacting specifications established by the customer. Anexamination indicated that 18 motors were beyond repair andshould be sold as spoiled goods for 75 each. The remaining15 motors, though defective, could be reconditioned as first-qualityunits by the addition of 1,650 for materials, 1,500 for labor, and1,200 for factory overhead. Required: Prepare the journal entries to record the following: 1. The scrapping of the 18 motors, with the income from spoiledgoods treated as a reduction in the manufacturing cost of thespecific job. 2. The correction of the 15 defective motors, with the additionalcost charged to the specific job. 3. The additional cost of replacing the 18 spoiled motors with newmotors. 4. The sale of the spoiled motors for 75 each. 5. If the reconditioned motors sell for 400 each, is Lloyd betteroff reconditioning the defective motors or selling them as isfor 75 as spoiled goods?
