Chapter 4, Problem 4.30BE
Compare traditional and departmental cost allocations (Learning Objective 1)
Albertson’s Fine Furnishings manufactures upscale custom furniture. Albertson’s currently uses a plantwide
Albertson’s plant completed Jobs 450 and 455 on May 15. Both jobs incurred a total of 5 DL hours throughout the entire production process. Job 450 incurred 2 MH in the Machining Department and 4 DL hours in the Finishing Department (the other DL hour occurred in the Machining Department). Job 455 incurred 7 MH in the Machining Department and 3 DL hours in the Finishing Department (the other two DL hours occurred in the Machining Department).
Requirements
- 1. Compute the plantwide overhead rate, assuming Albertson’s expects to incur 27,500 total DL hours during the year.
- 2. Compute departmental overhead rates, assuming Albertson’s expects to incur 14,800 MH in the Machining Department and 18,000 DL hours in the Finishing Department during the year.
- 3. If the company continues to use the plantwide overhead rate, how much manufacturing overhead would be allocated to Job 450 and Job 455?
- 4. If the company uses departmental overhead rates, how much manufacturing overhead would be allocated to Job 450 and Job 455?
- 5. Based on your answers to Requirements 3 and 4, does the plantwide overhead rate overcost or undercost either of the jobs? Explain. If the company sells its furniture at 125% of cost, will its choice of allocation systems affect product pricing? Explain.

I have the following information: direct materials $250 and total manufacturing cost $700. Overhead applied to jobs at a rate of 200% of direct labor cost. This is for Chapter 2 job costing in managerial accounting. I am supposed to figure out conversion cost, direct labor cost, and manufacturing overhead.
I know the formula for conversion cost= direct labor + manufacturing OH
Prime cost= direct labor + direct materials
How do I figure out direct labor cost with the given information? The learning objective states calcualte predetermined overhead rate, but I do not have estimated manufacturing cost and estimated labor. Can you please help?
Thanks,

She developed an ABC system very similar to the one used by Biltmore’s chief rival, Westriver. Part of the reason Johnson developed the ABC system was because Biltmore’s profits had been declining even though the company had shifted its product mix toward the product that had appeared most profitable under the old system. Before adopting the new ABC system, Biltmore had used a plantwide overhead rate based on direct labor hours that was developed years ago. For the upcoming year, Biltmore’s budgeted ABC manufacturing overhead allocation rates are as follows: Activity Allocation Base Activity Cost Allocation Rate Materials handling # of parts $3.84 per part Machine setup # of setups $330.00 per setup Insertion of parts # of parts $30.00 per part Finishing Finishing DL hrs $54.00 per hour The…arrow_forward

Marcus Armstrong, manager of Timmins Optical, estimated that the cost of plastic, wages of the technician producing the lenses, and overhead totaled 30 per pair of single-vision lenses. 2. Linda was having a hard time deciding whether to return to school. She was concerned about the salary she would have to give up for the next 4 years. 3. Randy Harris is the finished goods warehouse manager for a medium-sized manufacturing firm. He is paid a salary of 90,000 per year. As he studied the financial statements prepared by the local certified public accounting firm, he wondered how his salary was treated. 4.

All factory costs that are not classified as direct materials or direct labor. 6. The new product required machining, assembly, and painting. The design engineer asked the accounting department to estimate the labor cost of each of the three operations. The engineer supplied the estimated labor hours for each operation. 7. After obtaining the estimate of direct labor cost, the design engineer estimated the cost of the materials that would be used for the new product. 8. The design engineer totaled the costs of materials and direct labor for the new product. 9. The design engineer also estimated the cost of converting the raw materials into their final form. 10. The auditor for a soft drink bottling plant pointed out that the depreciation on the delivery trucks had been incorrectly assigned to product cost (through overhead). Accordingly, the depreciation charge was reallocated on the income statement. Required: Match the cost terms with the settings. More than one cost classification may be associated with each setting; however, select the setting that seems to fit the item best. When you are done, each cost term will be used just once.arrow_forwardClick to watch the Tell Me More Learning Objective 2 video and then answer the questions below. 1.
