The Alphonse Company allocates fixed overhead costs by machine hours and variable overhead costs by direct labor hours. At the beginning of the year the company expects fixed overhead costs to be S600,000 and variable costs to be S800,000. The expected machine hours are 6,000 and the expected direct labor hours are 80,000. The actual fixed overhead costs are $700,000 and the actual variable overhead costs are $750,000. The actual machine hours during the year are 5,500 and the actual direct labor hours are 90,000.a. How much overhead is allocated?b. What is the over/underabsorbed overhead?

Beerfield Company manufactures product M in its factory. Production of M requires 2 pounds of material P, costing $10 per pound and 0.5 hour of direct labor costing, $16 per hour. The variable overhead rate is $14 per direct labor hour, and the fixed overhead rate is $18 per direct labor hour. What is the standard product cost for product M? Direct material Answer Direct labor Answer Variable overhead Answer Fixed overhead Answer Standard product cost per unit Answer
National Pottery makes handmade clay pots. The company anticipates $3,187,219 of manufacturing overhead in the coming year. Because it is a labor-intensive organization, National Pottery bases overhead allocation on direct labor cost. The direct labor quantity standard is 2.7 hours per pot, and the standard direct labor rate is $22.50 per hour. The anticipated direct labor cost for the year is $3,375,000. Variable overhead is expected to be $2,162,350. What is the standard fixed overhead cost per pot? Round your answer to the nearest cent. O $23.11 O $6.83 O $38.92 O $18.45
The Macon Company uses the high-low method to determine its cost equation. The following information was gathered for the past year: Machine Hours Direct Labor Costs Busiest month (June) 24,000 $ 282,400 Slowest month (December) 18,000 $ 220,000 If Macon expects to use 20,000 machine hours next month, what are the estimated direct labor costs?
Martinez Company’s relevant range of production is 7,500 units to 12,500 units. When it produces and sells 10,000 units, its average costs per unit are as follows: Average Cost per Unit Direct materials $ 5.50 Direct labor $ 3.00 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 1.50 Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 4.00 Fixed selling expense $ 2.50 Fixed administrative expense $ 2.00 Sales commissions $ 1.00 Variable administrative expense $ 0.50 14. If 11,000 units are produced, what are the total amounts of direct and indirect manufacturing costs incurred to support this level of production? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Supler Corporation produces a part used in the manufacture of one of its products. The unit product cost is $21, computed as follows: Direct materials $ 6 Direct labor 8 Variable manufacturing overhead Fixed manufacturing overhead Unit product cost $ 21 An outside supplier has offered to provide the annual requirement of 6,500 of the parts for only $13 each. The company estimates that 80% of the fixed manufacturing overhead cost above could be eliminated if the parts are purchased from the outside supplier. Assume that direct labor is an avoidable cost in this decision. Based on these data, the financial advantage (disadvantage) of purchasing the parts from the outside supplier would be: Multiple Choice O ($2) per unit on average ($8) per unit on average %24

Next year, Pine Corp. expects to spend a total of 198,250 direct labor hours producing four models of widget, while Spruce Inc. expects to spend a total of 172,050 hours producing three models. Both firms allocate overhead on the basis of direct labor hours. If Pine anticipates a total overhead of $1.2 million and Spruce anticipates a total overhead of $1.1 million, then (Pine/Spruce) has a higher predetermined overhead rate.
Supler Corporation produces a part used in the manufacture of one of its products. The unit product cost is $21, computed as follows: Direct materials $ 8 Direct labor 7 Variable manufacturing overhead 1 Fixed manufacturing overhead 5 Unit product cost $ 21 An outside supplier has offered to provide the annual requirement of 5,500 of the parts for only $13 each. The company estimates that 60% of the fixed manufacturing overhead cost above could be eliminated if the parts are purchased from the outside supplier. Assume that direct labor is an avoidable cost in this decision. Based on these data, the costs saved by purchasing the units of purchasing the parts from the outside supplier would be: Multiple Choice $1 per unit on average ($8) per unit on average $6 per unit on average ($1) per unit on average
