Computing Predetermined Overhead Rates and
Moody Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a p1antide predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours. At the beginningof the year, the company made the following estimates:
Required:
1. Compute the p1antide predetermined overhead rate.
2. During the year, Job 400 was started and completed. The following information was available with respect to this job:
Compute the total
3. If Job 400 includes 52 units, what is the unit product cost for this job?
4. If Moody uses a markup percentage of 120% of its total manufacturing cost then what selling price per unit would it have established forJob 400?
5. If Moody hired you as a consultant to critique its pricing methodology, what would you say?
Predetermined overhead rate: Predetermined overhead rate refers to the rate of estimated overhead which need to be followed by a firm.
Total manufacturing cost: Total manufacturing cost refers to the overall costs of manufacturing a specific product.
Requirement − 1:
Plant wide predetermined overhead rate.
Answer to Problem 12E
Solution: Plant wide predetermined overhead rate is $9.5 per machine hour
Explanation of Solution
- Given: Following information are given in the question:
Fixed manufacturing overhead cost = $650000
Machine hours required = 100000
Variable manufacturing overhead cost per machine hour = $3.00
- Formula used: Following formula will be used for calculating plant wide predetermined overhead rate;
- Calculation: As per formula it is clear that we need to know estimated total manufacturing overhead and estimated total machine hours.
Fixed manufacturing overhead = $650000
Estimated machine hours = 100000
Now let’s put values in the above given formula;
Thus, above calculated is the plant wide predetermined overhead rate.
Requirement − 2:
Total manufacturing cost assigned to job-400.
Answer to Problem 12E
Solution:
Total manufacturing cost assigned to job is $1040
Explanation of Solution
- Given: Following information are given in the question:
Direct materials = $450
Direct labor cost = $210
Machine hours used = 40
- Formula used: Following formula will be used for calculating total manufacturing cost:
- Calculation: As per information of the question direct materials, direct labor cost are given but we have to calculate manufacturing overhead applied.
Direct materials = $450
Direct labor cost = $210
Now let’s put the values in the above mentioned formula;
Thus, above calculated is the total manufacturing cost assigned to job-400.
Requirement − 3
Unit product cost: Unit product cost refers to the average cost of goods manufactured. In other words we can say that when total manufacturing cost is divided by the number of units manufactured then we will get unit product cost.
To identify: Unit product cost for job-400.
Answer to Problem 12E
Solution:
Explanation of Solution
- Given: Following information are given in the question:
Direct materials = $450
Direct labor cost = $210
Machine hours used = 40
Overhead rate = $9.50 per machine hour
Number of units = 52
- Formula used: Following formula will be used;
- Calculation: First of all we have to calculate total manufacturing overhead;
Number of units in the job = 52 units
Now let’s put the values in the above given formula;
Thus, above calculated is the unit product cost for job-400.
Requirement − 4
Selling price per unit: Selling price per unit refers to the price at which manufactured units can be sold.
To identify: Selling price per unit if moody uses a markup percentage of 120% of it’s total manufacturing cost.
Answer to Problem 12E
Solution:
Per unit selling price will be calculated as follow:
Explanation of Solution
- Given:
Following information are available as per question:
Markup = 120% of manufacturing cost
- Formula used:
- Calculation:
Markup (120% of manufacturing cost) =
Number of units in the job = 52 units
Now let’s put the values in the above given formula;
Thus, above calculated is the per unit selling price for job-400.
Requirement − 5
To Explain: Critically analysis of pricing methodology of Moody Corporation.
Explanation of Solution
As per information of the question it is clear that Moody Corporation is selling it’s product at 120% markup. It means Moody corporation is charging 120% more than its’ manufacturing costs. So no doubt this selling price methodology is profitable to this corporation because it will result into higher amount of profits.
But we know that such high markup can make some negative impact on the overall sale of this corporation hence high markup can result into lower quantity of sale. Thus it should be kept in mind that before deciding for such high markup, a corporation must consider selling price being offered by other manufacturers too.
Thus overall we can say that although this pricing methodology of Moody Corporation is is good but negative impact of this pricing methodology must be considered.

- 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.

Closing of the applied factory overhead accounts. e. Recording under- and overapplied factory overhead and closing the actual factory overhead accounts.arrow_forwardDetermining 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.)arrow_forwardGerken Fabrication Inc. uses the job order cost system of accounting.
