Beltran Corporation produces wooden and aluminium baseball bats. In preparing the current budget, Betran's management estimated a total of $387,000 in manufacturing overhead costs and 12,900 machine hours for the coming year. In December, Beltran's accountants reported actual manufacturing overhead incurred of $78,000 and 12,400 machine hours used during the year. Beltran applies overhead based on machine hours. What was Beltran's predetermined overhead rate for the year? How much manufacturing overhead did Beltran apply during the year?

Salisbury Bottle Company manufactures plastic two-liter bottles for the beverage industry. The cost standards per 100 two-liter bottles are as follows: At the beginning of March, Salisburys management planned to produce 500,000 bottles. The actual number of bottles produced for March was 525,000 bottles. The actual costs for March of the current year were as follows: a. Prepare the March manufacturing standard cost budget (direct labor, direct materials, and factory overhead) for Salisbury, assuming planned production. b. Prepare a budget performance report for manufacturing costs, showing the total cost variances for direct materials, direct labor, and factory overhead for March. c. Interpret the budget performance report.
Krouse Company produces two products, forged putter heads and laminated putter heads, which are sold through specialty golf shops. The company is in the process of developing itsoperating budget for the coming year. Selected data regarding the companys two products areas follows: Manufacturing overhead is applied to units using direct labor hours. Variable manufacturing overhead Ls projected to be 25,000, and fixed manufacturing overhead is expected to be15,000. The estimated cost to produce one unit of the laminated putter head is: a. 42. b. 46. c. 52. d. 62.
Douglas Davis, controller for Marston, Inc., prepared the following budget for manufacturing costs at two different levels of activity for 20X1: During 20X1, Marston worked a total of 80,000 direct labor hours, used 250,000 machine hours, made 32,000 moves, and performed 120 batch inspections. The following actual costs were incurred: Marston applies overhead using rates based on direct labor hours, machine hours, number of moves, and number of batches. The second level of activity (the right column in the preceding table) is the practical level of activity (the available activity for resources acquired in advance of usage) and is used to compute predetermined overhead pool rates. Required: 1. Prepare a performance report for Marstons manufacturing costs in the current year. 2. Assume that one of the products produced by Marston is budgeted to use 10,000 direct labor hours, 15,000 machine hours, and 500 moves and will be produced in five batches. A total of 10,000 units will be produced during the year. Calculate the budgeted unit manufacturing cost. 3. One of Marstons managers said the following: Budgeting at the activity level makes a lot of sense. It really helps us manage costs better. But the previous budget really needs to provide more detailed information. For example, I know that the moving materials activity involves the use of forklifts and operators, and this information is lost when only the total cost of the activity for various levels of output is reported. We have four forklifts, each capable of providing 10,000 moves per year. We lease these forklifts for five years, at 10,000 per year. Furthermore, for our two shifts, we need up to eight operators if we run all four forklifts. Each operator is paid a salary of 30,000 per year. Also, I know that fuel costs about 0.25 per move. Assuming that these are the only three items, expand the detail of the flexible budget for moving materials to reveal the cost of these three resource items for 20,000 moves and 40,000 moves, respectively. Based on these comments, explain how this additional information can help Marston better manage its costs. (Especially consider how activity-based budgeting may provide useful information for non-value-added activities.)
Zepol Company is planning to produce 600,000 power drills for the coming year. The company uses direct labor hours to assign overhead to products. Each drill requires 0.75 standard hour of labor for completion. The total budgeted overhead was $1,777,500. The total fixed overhead budgeted for the coming year is $832,500. Predetermined overhead rates are calculated using expected production, measured in direct labor hours. Actual results for the year are: Actual Production (units) 592,000 Actual variable overhead $928,000 Actual direct labor hours 446,000 Actual fixed overhead $935,600 Required: Compute the applied fixed overhead. Compute the fixed overhead spending and volume variances. Compute the applied variable overhead. Compute the variable overhead spending and efficiency variances.
The total factory overhead for Diva-nation Inc. is budgeted for the year at $180,000. Divanation manufactures two types of men's pants: jeans and khakis. The jeans and khakis eachrequire 0.10 direct labor hour for manufacture. Each product is budgeted for 20,000 units ofproduction for the year. Determine (a) the total number of budgeted direct labor hours for theyear, (b) the single plantwide factory overhead rate, and (c) the factory overhead allocated perunit for each product using the single plantwide factory overhead rate.
The Meyers CPA firm has the following overhead budget for the year: Overhead Indirect materials Indirect labor Depreciation-Building Depreciation-Furniture Utilities Insurance Property taxes Other expenses Total $ 500,000 1,900,000 333,000 65,000 385,000 54,000 68,000 175,000 $ 3,480,000 The firm estimates total direct labor cost for the year to be $2,175,000. The firm uses direct labor cost as the cost driver to apply overhead to clients. During January, the firm worked for many clients; data for two of them follow: Gargus account Direct labor $ 4,500 Feller account Direct labor $ 10,500 Required: 1. Compute the firm's predetermined overhead rate. 2. Compute the amount of overhead to be charged to the Gargus and Feller accounts using the predetermined overhead rate calculated in requirement 1. 3. Compute total job cost for the Gargus account and the Feller account.
