EXERCISE 2—13 Departmental Predetermined Overhead Rates LO2−1, LO2−2, LO2−4

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:

  1. Compute the predetermined overhead rate for each department.
  2. 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 manufacturing cost assigned to Job 203.

  • Would you expect substantially different amounts of overhead cost to be assigned to some jobs if the company used a plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours, rather than using departmental rates? Explain. No computations are necessary.
