direct labor hours. The producing departments use estimated direct labor
hours: 1,500 in Department A and 1,250 in Department B.
Required: Allocate the total costs of the service departments to the producing
departments ( compute the departments' factory rate) by using the following:

Chapter 8 Accounting for Factory Overhead
Problem 11
The Strawberry Corporation has the following information relating to applied and
actual factory overhead:
Megastar Company's normal operating capacity is estimated at 95,000 machine hours
per month. At this operating level, fixed factory overhead is estimated to be P 34,200
and variable factory overhead is.estimated to be P41,800. During November, the
company operated 100,000 machine hours. Actual factory overhead for the month
totaled P78,600.
Required: Compute for the following
1. The over or underapplied factory overhead
2. The spending variance.
3. The idle capacity variance.
P30,500
39,700
Applied factory overhead costs are in the following accounts.
P32,000

Required:
a. Allocate the under or overapplied factory overhead to those accounts distorted
by using what turned out to be an incorrect factory overhead application rate.
b. Prepare the end-of-period entries.
. Problem 9
Normal annual capacity for Abner Company is 72,000 units, with fixed factory
overhead budgeted at P33,840 and an estimated variable factory overhead rate for
P4.20. per unit. During October, actual production was 5,400 units, with a total
overhead of P15,910.
Required: Compute for the following
1. The applied factory overhead
2. The over or underapplied factory overhead
3. The spending variance
Problem 12
For many years Tinor Company has used a manufacturing overhead rate based on
direct labor hours. A new plant accountant has suggested that the company may be
able to assign overhead costs to products more accurately by using an activity-based
costing system. The accountant explains that by creating an overhead rate for each
production activity that causeş overhead costs, the resulting product costs will reflect
an accurate measure of overhead cost. The direct material cost is P120 per unit. The
budgeted hours is 8,030 direct labor hours. The accountant has identified activity
centers to which overhead costs are assigned. The cost pool amounts for these centers
and their selected activity drivers for 2012:
