Carter Company manufactures two products, Deluxe and Regular, and uses a traditional two-stage cost allocation system. The firststage assigns all factory overhead costs to two production departments, A and B. based on machine hours. The second stage usesdirect labor hours to allocate overhead to individual products.For the current year, the firm budgeted $1,550,000 total factory overhead cost.

Eclipse Motor Company manufactures two types of specialty electric motors, a commercial motor and a residential motor, through two production departments, Assembly and Testing. Presently, the company uses a single plantwide factory overhead rate for allocating factory overhead to the two products. However, management is considering using the multiple production department factory overhead rate method. The following factory overhead was budgeted for Eclipse: a. Determine the per-unit factory overhead allocated to the commercial and residential motors under the single plantwide factory overhead rate method, using direct machine hours as the allocation base.b. Determine the per-unit factory overhead allocated to the commercial and residential motors under the multiple production department factory overhead rate method, using direct machine hours as the allocation base for each department.c. Recommend to management a product costing approach, based on your analyses in (a) and (b). Support…

The Platter Valley factory of Bybee Industries manufactures field boots. The cost of each boot includes direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing (factory) overhead. The firm traces all direct costs to products, and it assigns overhead cost to products based on direct labor hours. The company budgeted $15,000 variable factory overhead cost, $90,000 for fixed factory overhead cost and 2,500 direct labor hours (its practical capacity) to manufacture 5,000 pairs of boots in March. The factory used 2,700 direct labor hours in March to manufacture 4,800 pairs of boots and spent $15,600 on variable overhead during the month. The actual fixed overhead cost incurred for the month was $92,000. Required: 1. Compute the factory overhead flexible-budget variance, the factory overhead spending variance, and the efficiency variance for variable factory overhead for March and state whether each variance is favorable (F) or unfavorable (U). 2. Provide the appropriate journal entry to record…
Reliable Car Parts, a manufacturer of spare parts, has two production departments-Assembling and Packaging. The Assembling Department is mechanized, while the Packaging Department is labor oriented. Estimated manufacturing overhead costs for the year were $15,700,000 for Assembling and $11,000,000 for Packaging. Calculate the department predetermined overhead allocation rates for the Assembling and Packaging Departments, respectively, if the total estimated machine hours were 47,000 and labor hours were 22,000 for the year.
