The cost accountant for River Rock Beverage Co. estimated that total factory overhead cost for the Blending Department for the coming fiscal year beginning February 1 would be 3,150,000, and total direct labor costs would be 1,800,000. During February, the actual direct labor cost totalled 160,000, and factory overhead cost incurred totaled 283,900. a. What is the predetermined factory overhead rate based on direct labor cost? b. Journalize the entry to apply factory overhead to production for February. c. What is the February 28 balance of the account Factory OverheadBlending Department? d. Does the balance in part (c) represent over- or underapplied factory overhead?
Ada Clothes Company produced 40,000 units during April. The Cutting Department used 12,800 direct labor hours at an actual rate of 16.50 per hour. The Sewing Department used 19,600 direct labor hours at an actual rate of 19.25 per hour. Assume there were no work in process inventories in either department at the beginning or end of the month. The standard labor rate is 18.00. The standard labor time for the Cutting and Sewing departments is 0.3 hour and 0.5 hour per unit, respectively. a. Determine the direct labor rate, direct labor time, and total direct labor cost variance for the (1) Cutting Department and (2) Sewing Department. b. Interpret your results.
Case made 24,500 units during June, using 32,000 direct labor hours. They expected to use 31,450 hours per the standard cost card. Their employees were paid $15.75 per hour for the month of June. The standard cost card uses $15.50 as the standard hourly rate. A. Compute the direct labor rate and time variances for the month of June, and also calculate the total direct labor variance. B. If the standard rate per hour was $16.00, what would change?

The standard hours per unit are 6.4, and the standard labor wage rate is $38.40 per hour. A. What are the actual hours worked? B. What are the standard hours for the units made? C. What is the direct labor rate variance for April? D. What Is the direct labor time variance for April? E. What is the total direct labor variance for April?
A company estimates its manufacturing overhead will be $840,000 for the next year. What is the predetermined overhead rate given each of the following Independent allocation bases? Budgeted direct labor hours: 90,615 Budgeted direct labor expense: $750000 Estimated machine hours: 150,000
Business Specialty, Inc., manufactures two staplers: small and regular. The standard quantities of direct labor and direct materials per unit for the year are as follows: The standard price paid per pound of direct materials is 1.60. The standard rate for labor is 8.00. Overhead is applied on the basis of direct labor hours. A plantwide rate is used. Budgeted overhead for the year is as follows: The company expects to work 12,000 direct labor hours during the year; standard overhead rates are computed using this activity level. For every small stapler produced, the company produces two regular staplers. Actual operating data for the year are as follows: a. Units produced: small staplers, 35,000; regular staplers, 70,000. b. Direct materials purchased and used: 56,000 pounds at 1.5513,000 for the small stapler and 43,000 for the regular stapler. There were no beginning or ending direct materials inventories. c. Direct labor: 14,800 hours3,600 hours for the small stapler and 11,200 hours for the regular stapler. Total cost of direct labor: 114,700. d. Variable overhead: 607,500. e. Fixed overhead: 350,000. Required: 1. Prepare a standard cost sheet showing the unit cost for each product. 2. Compute the direct materials price and usage variances for each product. Prepare journal entries to record direct materials activity. 3. Compute the direct labor rate and efficiency variances for each product. Prepare journal entries to record direct labor activity. 4. Compute the variances for fixed and variable overhead. Prepare journal entries to record overhead activity. All variances are closed to Cost of Goods Sold. 5. Assume that you know only the total direct materials used for both products and the total direct labor hours used for both products. Can you compute the total direct materials and direct labor usage variances? Explain.
Abbey Products Company is studying the results of applying factory overhead to production. The following data have been used: estimated factory overhead, 60,000; estimated materials costs, 50,000; estimated direct labor costs, 60,000; estimated direct labor hours, 10,000; estimated machine hours, 20,000; work in process at the beginning of the month, none. The actual factory overhead incurred for November was 80,000, and the production statistics on November 30 are as follows: Required: 1. Compute the predetermined rate, based on the following: a. Direct labor cost b. Direct labor hours c. Machine hours 2. Using each of the methods, compute the estimated total cost of each job at the end of the month. 3. Determine the under-or overapplied factory overhead, in total, at the end of the month under each of the methods. 4. Which method would you recommend? Why?
Standard unit cost and journal entries The normal capacity of Algonquin Adhesives Inc. is 40,000 direct labor hours and 20,000 units per month. A finished unit requires 6 lb of materials at an estimated cost of 2 per pound. The estimated cost of labor is 10.00 per hour. The plant estimates that overhead (all variable) for a month will be 40,000. During the month of March, the plant totaled 34,800 direct labor hours at an average rate of 9.50 an hour. The plant produced 18,000 units, using 105,000 lb of materials at a cost of 2.04 per pound. 1. Prepare a standard cost summary showing the standard unit cost. 2. Make journal entries to charge materials and labor to Work in Process.
Patterson Corporation expects to incur 70,000 of factory overhead and 60,000 of general and administrative costs next year. Direct labor costs at 5 per hour are expected to total 50,000. If factory overhead is to be applied per direct labor hour, how much overhead will be applied to a job incurring 20 hours of direct labor? a. 120 b. 260 c. 28 d. 140
During the week of May 10, Hyrum Manufacturing produced and shipped 16,000 units of its aluminum wheels: 4,000 units of Model A and 12,000 units of Model B. The cycle time for Model A is 1.09 hours and for Model B is 0.47 hour. The following costs and production hours were incurred: Required: 1. Assume that the value-stream costs and total units shipped apply only to one model (a single-product value stream). Calculate the unit cost, and comment on its accuracy. 2. Assume that Model A is responsible for 40% of the materials cost. Calculate the unit cost for Models A and B, and comment on its accuracy. Explain the rationale for using units shipped instead of units produced in the calculation. 3. Calculate the unit cost for the two models, using DBC. Explain when and why this cost is more accurate than the unit cost calculated in Requirement 2.
Clearwater Candy Co. had a cost per equivalent pound for the month of 4.56 for materials, 1.75 for labor, and 1.00 for overhead. During the month, 10,250 lb were completed and transferred to finished goods. The 3,200 lb in ending work in process were 100% complete as to materials and 60% complete as to labor and overhead. At the beginning of the month, 1,500 lb were in process, 100% complete as to materials and 50% complete as to labor and overhead. The beginning inventory had a cost of 8,775. Clearwater uses FIFO costing. Required: 1. Calculate the cost of the pounds completed and transferred to finished goods. 2. Calculate the cost of the ending work in process.
Calculating factory overhead The standard capacity of a factory is 8,000 units per month. Cost and production data follow: Calculate the amount of factory overhead allowed for the actual volume of production each month and the variance between budgeted and actual overhead for each month.
