Chapter 2, Problem 13E
EXERCISE 2—13 Departmental Predetermined
White Company has two departments, Cutting and Finishing. The company uses a job-order costing system and computes a predetermined overhead rate in each department. The Cutting Department bases its rate on machine-hours, and the Finishing Department bases its rate on direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the year, the company made the following estimates:
Department | ||
Cutting | Finishing | |
Direct labor-hours | 6,000 | 30,000 |
Machine-hours | 48,000 | 5,000 |
Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost | $264,000 | $366,000 |
Variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour | $2.00 | - |
Variable manufacturing overhead per direct labor-hour | - | $4.00 |
Required:
- Compute the predetermined overhead rate for each department.
- The
job cost sheet for Job 203, which was started and completed during the year, showed the following:
Department | ||
Cutting | Finishing | |
Direct labor-hours | 6 | 20 |
Machine-hours | 80 | 4 |
Direct materials | $500 | $310 |
Direct labor cost | $108 | $360 |
page 91
Using the predetermined overhead rates that you computed in (1) above, compute the total

The total factory overhead associated with each department is as follows: Stamping Department 115,200 Plating Department 105,600 Total 220,800 Instructions 1. Determine the multiple production department factory overhead rates, using direct labor hours for the Stamping Department and machine hours for the Plating Department. 2. Determine the product factory- overhead costs, using the multiple production department rates in (1).arrow_forwardFactory overhead rate Salvo Inc., a specialized equipment manufacturer, uses a job order costing system. The overhead is allocated to jobs on the basis of direct labor hours. The overhead rate is now 1,500 per direct labor hour. The design engineer thinks that this is illogical. The design engineer has stated the following: Our accounting system doesnt make any sense to me. It tells me that every labor hour carries an additional burden of 1,500. This means that direct labor makes up only 6% of our total product cost, yet 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 wont be surprised if next year the rate is 2,000 per direct labor hour. Im 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 750. 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. 1. What is the engineer's concern about the overhead rate going up and up? 2. What did the engineer mean about the large overhead rate being a disadvantage when placing bids and seeking new business? 3. What do you think is a possible solution?arrow_forward
