- Multiple production department factory overhead rates The management of Orange County Chrome Company, described in Problem 1A, now plans to use the multiple production department factory overhead rate method. 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.

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. What do you think is a possible solution?arrow_forward

- (Appendix 3A) Method of Least Squares Using Computer Spreadsheet Program The controller for Beckham Company believes that the number of direct labor hours is associated with overhead cost. He collected the following data on the number of direct labor hours and associated factory overhead cost for the months of January through August. Required: 1. Using a computer spreadsheet program such as Excel, run a regression on these data. Print out your results. 2. Using your results from Requirement 1, write the cost formula for overhead cost. (Note: Round the fixed cost to the nearest dollar and the variable rate to the nearest cent.) 3. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION What is R2 based on your results? Do you think that the number of direct labor hours is a good predictor of factory overhead cost? 4. Assuming that expected September direct labor hours are 700, what is expected factory overhead cost using the cost formula in Requirement 2?arrow_forwardPredetermined 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_forward(Appendix 4A) Unit Cost, Ending Work in Process, Journal Entries During August, Leming Inc. worked on two jobs. Data relating to these two jobs follow: Overhead is assigned on the basis of direct labor hours at a rate of 11. During August, Job 64 was completed and transferred to Finished Goods. Job 65 was the only unfinished job at the end of the month. Required: 1. Calculate the per-unit cost of Job 64. 2. Compute the ending balance in the work-in-process account. 3. Prepare the journal entries reflecting the completion and sale on account of Job 64. The selling price is 175% of cost. (Note: Round all journal entry amounts to the nearest dollar.)arrow_forward
