Single Plantwide and Multiple Production Department Factory Overhead Rate Methods and Product Cost Distortion The management of Nova Industries Inc. manufactures gasoline and diesel engines through two production departments, Fabrication and Assembly. Management needs accurate product cost information in order to guide product strategy. Presently, the company uses a single plantwide factory overhead rate for allocating factory overhead to the two products. However, management is considering the multiple production department factory overhead rate method. The following factory overhead was budgeted for Nova: $765,000 315,000 $1,080,000 Fabrication Department factory overhead Assembly Department factory overhead Total Direct labor hours were estimated as follows: Fabrication Department Assembly Department Total 4,500 hours 4,500 9,000 hours In addition, the direct labor hours (dlh) used to produce a unit of each product in each department were determined from engineering records, as follows: Production Departments Gasoline Engine Diesel Engine Fabrication Department 1.20 dlh 2.80 dlh Assembly Department 2.80 1.20

The make or buy decision Lakeview Engine Inc. produces engines for the watercraft industry. An outside manufacturer has offered to supply several component parts used in the engine assemblies, which are currently being produced by Lakeview. The supplier will charge Lakeview $270 per engine for the set of parts. Lakeview's current costs for those part sets are direct materials, $160; direct labor, $80; and manufacturing overhead applied at 100% of direct labor. Variable manufacturing overhead is considered to be 20% of the total, and fixed overhead will not change if the part sets are acquired from the outside supplier. bd 1200 Required: Should Lakeview Engine continue to make the part sets or accept the offer to purchase them for $270?

Nutterco, Inc., produces two types of nut butter: peanut butter and cashew butter. Of the two,peanut butter is the more popular. Cashew butter is a specialty line using smaller jars and fewerjars per case. Data concerning the two products follow: Annual overhead costs are listed below. These costs are classified as fixed or variable with respect to the appropriate activity driver. Required:1. Prepare a traditional segmented income statement, using a unit-level overhead rate based ondirect labor hours. Using this approach, determine whether the cashew butter product lineshould be kept or dropped.2. Prepare an activity-based segmented income statement. Repeat the keep-or-drop analysisusing an ABC approach.

Kelso Manufacturing allocates manufacturing overhead using a single predetermined rate based on a planned use of 15,000 direct labour hours per year. Company leadership recently learned that its costing system may be too simple for its operations, and that job cost fairly inaccurate. A consultant was hired to study overhead costs, and the following information reflects the cost pools and activity rates that were determined: Cost Pool Total Cost Activity Rate Purchasing $90,000 $30/purchase order Assembly $150,000 $?/direct labour hour Inspection $60,000 $15/inspection Production $150,000 $3/unit produced $450,000 Total Based on the information presented in the introduction and table above, Kelso's single predetermined manufacturing overhead cost rate is __________ and its rate for the Assembly cost pool is __________ Question 8 a. $30/direct labour hour; $30/direct labour hour b. $30/direct labour hour; $10/direct labour hour C. $30/direct labour hour; $15/direct labour hour d.…
Check my work Required information [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] Patel and Sons Inc. uses a standard cost system to apply factory overhead costs to units produced. Practical capacity for the plant is defined as 55,200 machine hours per year, which represents 27,600 units of output. Annual budgeted fixed factory overhead costs are $276,000 and the budgeted variable factory overhead cost rate is $3.70 per unit. Factory overhead costs are applied on the basis of standard machine hours allowed for units produced. Budgeted and actual output for the year was 21,500 units, which took 44,200 machine hours. Actual fixed factory overhead costs for the year amounted to $264,800 while the actual variable overhead cost per unit was $3.60. Based on the information provided above, calculate the following factory overhead variances for the year. Indicate whether each variance is favorable (F) or unfavorable (U).
