Chapter 4, Problem 4.1E
Compute the Predetermined
Logan Products computes its predetermined overhead rate annually on the basis of direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the year, it estimated that 40,000 direct labor-hours would be required for the period’s estimated level of production. The company also estimated $466,000 of fixed manufacturing overhead expenses for the coming period and variable manufacturing overhead of $3.00 per direct labor-hour. Logan’s actual manufacturing overhead for the year was $713,400 and its actual total direct labor was 41,000 hours.
Required:
Compute the company' s predetermined overhead rate for the year.

Using the highest and lowest levels of activity for the past year, the cost function representing maintenance costs (y) as a function of machine hours (x) was developed: y=439,000 + 14x. The lowest level of machine hours last year was 4000. The maintenance cost incurred at the highest and lowest level of machine hours were P551,000 and P495,000, respectively. If 5975 machine hours were used the following month, what amount maintenance cost can the company expect?
a. 439,000b. 495,000c. 551,000d. 522,650

A company had the following costs in May when 400 units were produced: materials, $4,200; hourly labor, $1,600; depreciation, $800; rent, $700; and other fixed costs, $500. If the production level changes to 500 units, how much will the total costs be? Enter your answers as amounts only with neither commas nor decimals.
1. Golf Corporation estimates that its production for the coming year will be 25,000 units, which is 90% of normal capacity, with the following units costs: Materials P50 Direct labor 90 Direct labor is paid at the rate of P25 per hour. The machine should be run 20 minutes to produce one unit. Total estimated overhead is expected to consist of P900,000 for variable overhead and P900,000 for fixed overhead.

Broduer estimates total manufacturing overhead costs next year to be $2,500,000 The company also estimates it will use 50,000 direct labour hours and incur $1,000,000 of direct labour cost next year. In addition, the machines are expected to be run for 30,000 hours. Compute the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate for next year under the following independent situations: 1. Assume that Brodeur uses direct labour hours as its manufacturing overhead allocation base. 2. Assume that Brodeur suses direct labour cost as its manufacturing overhead allocation base. 3. Assume that Brodeur uses machine hours as its manufacturing allocation basearrow_forward7. For The period just ended, the gross margin of Robin Company was P 3,840,000, the cost of goods manufactured was P 13,6000,000; the work in process inventory increased by P400,000 and finished goods ending inventories increased by P400,000 during the year, but the materials inventories decreased by P 120,000.

At this level, the cost per unit includes $360 in direct materials, $1,000 in direct labor, $240 in variable overhead, and $900 in fixed overhead. An outside supplier has offered to make all 300 units for $2,100 per unit. If PT accepts this offer, two thirds of the fixed overhead would persist, but would be defrayed by renting out the floor space for $72,000 per year.
