Process Costing
Process costing is a sort of operation costing which is employed to determine the value of a product at each process or stage of producing process, applicable where goods produced from a series of continuous operations or procedure.
Job Costing
Job costing is adhesive costs of each and every job involved in the production processes. It is an accounting measure. It is a method which determines the cost of specific jobs, which are performed according to the consumer’s specifications. Job costing is possible only in businesses where the production is done as per the customer’s requirement. For example, some customers order to manufacture furniture as per their needs.
ABC Costing
Cost Accounting is a form of managerial accounting that helps the company in assessing the total variable cost so as to compute the cost of production. Cost accounting is generally used by the management so as to ensure better decision-making. In comparison to financial accounting, cost accounting has to follow a set standard ad can be used flexibly by the management as per their needs. The types of Cost Accounting include – Lean Accounting, Standard Costing, Marginal Costing and Activity Based Costing.
![### Total Manufacturing Overhead Using Direct Labor-Hours: Power Company
Power Company manufactures a variety of drill bits. The company's plant is partially automated. The budget for the year includes a $588,000 payroll for 7,000 direct labor-hours. Listed below is cost driver information used in the product-costing system:
| Overhead Cost Pool | Budgeted Overhead | Cost Driver | Estimated Cost Driver Level |
|--------------------|-------------------|-------------|-----------------------------|
| Machine setups | $1,098,950 | Number of setups | 250 setups |
| Materials handling | $112,200 | Number of barrels | 9,350 barrels |
| Quality control | $888,000 | Number of inspections | 2,400 inspections |
| Other overhead cost| $703,000 | Number of machine hours | 18,500 machine hours |
| **Total overhead** | **$2,802,150** | - | - |
A current product order has the following requirements:
- **Machine setups:** 22 setups
- **Materials handling:** 684 barrels
- **Quality inspections:** 87 inspections
- **Machine hours:** 1,400 machine hours
- **Direct labor hour:** 492 hours
### Question:
What is the total manufacturing overhead for the current product order if the firm uses a plantwide rate based on direct labor-hours? (Round your intermediate calculation to 2 decimal places.)
### Solution:
#### Step 1: Determine the Plantwide Overhead Rate
First, calculate the plantwide overhead rate based on direct labor-hours.
\[ \text{Plantwide Overhead Rate} = \frac{\text{Total Budgeted Overhead}}{\text{Total Direct Labor-Hours}} \]
\[ \text{Plantwide Overhead Rate} = \frac{ $2,802,150 }{ 7,000 \text{ hours} } \]
\[ \text{Plantwide Overhead Rate} = 400.3071428571 \]
\[ \text{Plantwide Overhead Rate} = 400.31 \, \text{(Rounded to 2 decimal places)} \]
#### Step 2: Calculate the Overhead for the Current Product Order
Next, multiply the plantwide overhead rate by the direct labor-hours for the current product order.
\[ \text{Total Manufacturing Overhead} = \text{](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F08138c1b-b13f-4cc9-90fc-4bc24dd3dae9%2F5458ebd3-2d90-41b4-b35c-7f09d74aa9eb%2Fvrs3h3t_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
