Chapter 2, Problem 17P
PROBLEM 2−17 Plantwide and Departmental Predetermined
Wilmington Company has two manufacturing departments—Assembly and Fabrication. It considers all of its
| Estimated Data | Assembly | Fabrication | Total |
| Manufacturing overhead costs | $600,000 | $800,000 | $1,400,000 |
| Direct labor-hours | 50,000 | 30,000 | 80,000 |
| Machine-hours | 20,000 | 100,000 | 120,000 |
| Job Bravo | Assembly | Fabrication | Total |
| Direct labor-hours | 11 | 3 | 14 |
| Machine-hours | 3 | 6 | 9 |
Required:
- If Wilmington used a plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours, how much manufacturing overhead would be applied to Job Bravo?
- If Wilmington uses departmental predetermined overhead rates with direct labor-hours as the allocation base in Assembly and machine-hours as the allocation base in Fabrication, how much manufacturing overhead would be applied to Job Bravo?

- Predetermined factory overhead rate Poehling Medical Center has a single operating room that is used by local physicians to perform surgical procedures. The cost of using the operating room is accumulated by each patient procedure and includes the direct materials costs (drugs and medical devices), physician surgical time, and operating room overhead. On January 1 of the current year, the annual operating room overhead is estimated to be: The overhead costs will be assigned to procedures, based on the number of surgical room hours. Poehling Medical Center expects to use the operating room an average of eight hours per day, seven days per week. In addition, the operating room will be shut down two weeks per year for general repairs. A. Determine the predetermined operating room overhead rate for the year. B. Bill Harris had a five-hour procedure on January 22. How much operating room overhead would be charged to his procedure, using the rate determined in part (A)? C. During January, the operating room was used 240 hours. The actual overhead costs incurred for January were 67,250. Determine the overhead under- or overapplied for the period.arrow_forwardFactory 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.
