Determining
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.)

Principles of Cost Accounting
- PREDETERMINED FACTORY OVERHEAD RATE Marston Enterprises calculates a predetermined factory overhead rate so that factory overhead may be applied to production during the month. It calculates the overhead using three different methods and then decides which one to use. Total estimated factory overhead costs are 600,000. Total estimated direct labor hours are 30,000. Total estimated direct labor costs are 1,200,000. Total machine hours are estimated to be 200,000. Calculate the predetermined overhead application rates based on (1) direct labor hours, (2) direct labor costs, and (3) machine hours.arrow_forwardPREDETERMINED FACTORY OVERHEAD RATE Millerlile Enterprises calculates a predetermined factory overhead rate so that factory overhead may be applied to production during the month. It calculates the overhead using three different methods and then decides which one to use. Total estimated factory overhead costs are 540,000. Total estimated direct labor hours are 50,000. Total estimated direct labor costs are 900,000. Total machine hours are estimated to be 80,000. Calculate the predetermined overhead application rates based on (1) direct labor hours, (2) direct labor costs, and (3) machine hours.arrow_forwardOverhead application rate Roll Tide Manufacturing Inc. uses a job order cost system and standard costs. It manufactures one product, whose standard cost follows: The standards are based on normal capacity of 2,700 direct labor hours. Actual activity for March follows: Required: 1. Compute the variable and fixed factory overhead rates per unit. 2. Compute the variable and fixed overhead rates per direct labor hour. 3. Determine the total fixed factory overhead based on normal capacity.arrow_forward
- Overhead application rate Creole Manufacturing Inc. uses a job order cost system and standard costs. It manufactures one product, whose standard cost follows: The standards are based on normal capacity of 2,400 direct labor hours. Actual activity for October follows: Required: 1. Compute the variable and fixed factory overhead rates per unit. 2. Compute the variable and fixed overhead rates per direct labor hour. 3. Determine the total fixed factory overhead based on normal capacity.arrow_forwardJob order cost sheets show the following costs assigned to each job: The company assigns overhead at $1.25 for each direct labor dollar spent. What is the total cost for each of the jobs?arrow_forwardApplying factory overhead Bergan Company estimates that total factory overhead costs will be 620,000 for the year. Direct labor hours are estimated to be 80,000. For Bergan Company, (A) determine the predetermined factory overhead rate using direct labor hours as the activity base, (B) determine the amount of factory overhead applied to Jobs 200 and 305 in May using the data on direct labor hours from BE 16-2, and (C) prepare the journal entry to apply factory overhead to both jobs in May according to the predetermined overhead rate.arrow_forward
- Cost Flows Consider the following independent jobs. Overhead is applied in Department 1 at the rate of 6 per direct labor hour. Overhead is applied in Department 2 at the rate of 8 per machine hour. Direct labor wages average 10 per hour in each department. Required: Fill in the missing data for each job.arrow_forwardPrimera Company produces two products and uses a predetermined overhead rate to apply overhead. Primera currently applies overhead using a plantwide rate based on direct labor hours. Consideration is being given to the use of departmental overhead rates where overhead would be applied on the basis of direct labor hours in Department 1 and on the basis of machine hours in Department 2. At the beginning of the year, the following estimates are provided: Actual results reported by department and product during the year are as follows: Required: 1. Compute the plantwide predetermined overhead rate and calculate the overhead assigned to each product. 2. Calculate the predetermined departmental overhead rates and calculate the overhead assigned to each product. 3. Using departmental rates, compute the applied overhead for the year. What is the under- or overapplied overhead for the firm? 4. Prepare the journal entry that disposes of the overhead variance calculated in Requirement 3, assuming it is not material in amount. What additional information would you need if the variance is material to make the appropriate journal entry?arrow_forwardBasic Cost Flows Linsenmeyer Company produces a common machine component for industrial equipment in three departments: molding, grinding, and finishing. The following data are available for September: During September, 18,000 components were completed. There is no beginning or ending WIP in any department. Required: 1. Prepare a schedule showing, for each department, the cost of direct materials, direct labor, applied overhead, product transferred in from a prior department, and total manufacturing cost. 2. Calculate the unit cost. (Note: Round the unit cost to two decimal places.)arrow_forward
- JOB ORDER COSTING WITH UNDER- AND OVERAPPLIED FACTORY OVERHEAD M Evans Sons manufactures parts for radios. For each job order, it maintains ledger sheets on which it records direct labor, direct materials, and factory overhead applied. The factory overhead control account contains postings of actual overhead costs. At the end of the month, the under- or overapplied factory overhead is charged to the cost of goods sold account. Factory overhead is applied on the basis of direct labor hours. For Job Nos. 101, 102, 103, and 104, direct labor hours are 12,000, 10,000, 11,000, and 18,000, respectively. The overhead application rate is 1.20/direct labor hour (a) Purchased raw materials on account, 50,000. (b) Issued direct materials: (c) Issued indirect materials to production, 8,000. (d) Incurred direct labor costs: (e) Charged indirect labor to production, 15,000. (f) Paid electricity bill, taxes, and repair fees for the factory and charged to production, 8,000. (g) Depreciation expense on factory equipment, 30,000. (h) Applied factory overhead to Job Nos. 101-104 using the predetermined factory overhead rare (see above). (i) Finished Job Nos. 101-103 and transferred to the finished goods inventory account as products N, O, and P. (j) Sold products N and O for 50,000 and 45,400, respectively. (k) Transferred under- or overapplied factory overhead balance to the cost of goods sold account. REQUIRED 1. Prepare general journal entries to record transactions (a) through (k). Make compound entries for (b), (d), and (h), with separate debits for each job. 2. Post the entries to the work in process and finished goods T accounts only and determine the ending balances in these accounts. 3. Compute the balance in the job cost ledger and verify that this balance agrees with that in the work in process control account.arrow_forwardEntry for factory labor costs The weekly time tickets indicate the following distribution of labor hours for three direct labor employees: The direct labor rate earned per hour by the three employees is as follows: The process improvement category includes training, quality improvement, and other indirect tasks. A. Journalize the entry to record the factory labor costs for the week. B. Assume that Jobs 301 and 302 were completed but not sold during the week and that Job 303 remained incomplete at the end of the week. How would the direct labor costs for all three jobs be reflected on the financial statements at the end of the week?arrow_forwardExotic Engine Shop uses a job order cost system to determine the cost of performing engine repair work. Estimated costs and expenses for the coming period are as follows: The average shop direct labor rate is 37.50 per hour. Determine the predetermined shop overhead rate per direct labor hour.arrow_forward
