In manufacturing footballs, Spector Company's plant used 360 direct labor hours, 450 machine hours, and 23 setups. The following overhead costs were taken from the factory accounts: Overhead expenses: $175,000 66,000 $241,000 Machining Center Setup Center Total Volume of activities: 25,000 machine hours 100 setups 5,000 direct labor hours The plant was using a factory-wide overhead rate based on direct labor hours. A new ABC system will use machine hours in the Machining Center and number of setups in the Setup Center as cost drivers. By what amount would the amount of overhead costs assigned to footballs differ between the prior system and the ABC system? $_

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 $9,600 variable factory overhead cost, $92,000 for fixed factory overhead cost and 2,000 direct labor hours (its practical capacity) to manufacture 4,000 pairs of boots in March. The factory used 3,700 direct labor hours in March to manufacture 3,800 pairs of boots and spent $16,800 on variable overhead during the month. The actual fixed overhead cost incurred for the month was $95,000. Required: 1. Compute the variable overhead spending (rate) variance, the variable overhead efficiency variance, and the total variable overhead variance for March and state whether each variance is favorable (F) or unfavorable (U). 2. Provide the appropriate journal entry to record the variable…

One of Astro Company's activity cost pools is machine setups, with estimated overhead of $150,000. Astro produces sparklers (400 setups) and lighters (600 setups). How much of the machine setup cost pool should be assigned to sparklers?
Scorpio makes premium bikes using two departments, assembly and painting. Assembly estimates using 868,000 machine hours and painting uses 41,000 machine hours. Fixed manufacturing overhead costs are estimated to be $10,000,000 for assembly and $751,000 for painting. Variable manufacturing overhead per machine hour is $11.5 in both departments. Machine hours are used as the allocation base for a plantwide predetermined manufacturing overhead application rate. A bike dealership shop places an order for 20 bikes. The order requires 1,030 machine hours in assembly and 105 machine hours in painting. The job also requires $54,000 of direct materials and $108,000 of direct labor. What is the unit product cost (per bike) for the job when Scorpio uses a plantwide approach to calculating its predetermined manufacturing overhead application rate? Round your answer to 2 d.p. Do not round intermediary calculations.
