The management of Garn Corporation would like to investigate the possibility of basing its predetermined overhead rate on activity at capacity rather than on the estimated activity for the coming year. The Corporation's controller has provided an example to illustrate how this new system would work. In this example, the allocation base is machine-hours and the estimated activity for the upcoming year is 59,400 machine-hours. Capacity is 78,400 machine-hours. All of the manufacturing overhead is fixed and is $3,136,000 per year within the range of 59,400 to 78,400 machine-hours. If the Corporation bases its predetermined overhead rate on capacity but the actual level of activity for the year turns out to be 59,900 machine-hours, the cost of unused capacity shown on the income statement prepared for internal management purposes would be closest to: Multiple Choice $26,177 $766.177 $740,000 $26.397

Ecco Ltd is engaged in the manufacture of components for the computer hardware industry. The factory consists of three production departments, A, B and C and a number of service departments. The costing system uses a single production overhead absorption rate expressed as a percentage of direct labour cost. A newly qualified accountant has just joined the company and has expressed a view that departmental overhead absorption rates would result in more accurate job costs. With this in mind, she has produced the following budgeted information for the next year. The budgeted production overheads in each department are after the allocation of service department costs. (a) State with reasons, whether you agree with the view that ‘departmental overhead absorption rates would result in more accurate job costs’ and outline why a company would calculate predetermined annual overhead absorption rates as opposed to rates calculated from actual weekly or monthly activity and expenditure. (b) (i)…
XYZ Corporation has provided the following data concerning its overhead costs for the coming year: Wages and salaries Depreciation Rent Total The company has an activity-based costing system with the following three activity cost pools and estimated activity for the coming year: Activity Cost Pool Assembly Order processing Other Wages and salaries Depreciation $ 420,000 160,000 180,000 $760,000 Not Rent Total Activity 40,000 labor-hours 700 orders The Other activity cost pool does not have a measure of activity; it is used to accumulate costs of idle capacity and organization-sustaining costs. The distribution of resource consumption across activity cost pools is given below: applicable Assembly 35% 15% 35% Activity Cost Pools Order Processing 30% 45% 30% The activity rate for the Order Processing activity cost pool is closest to: Other 35% 40% 35% Total 100% 100% 100%
Hakara Company has been using direct labor costs as the basis for assigning overhead to its many products. Under this allocation system, product A has been assigned overhead of $35.29 per unit, while product B has been assigned $8.25 per unit. Management feels that an ABC system will provide a more accurate allocation of the overhead costs and has collected the following cost pool and cost driver information: Cost Pools Activity Costs Cost Drivers Activity Driver Consumption Machine setup $ 261,000 Setup hours 3,000 Materials handling 153,000 Pounds of materials 17,000 Electric power 38,000 Kilowatt-hours 38,000 The following cost information pertains to the production of A and B, just two of Hakara's many products: A B Number of units produced 4,000 20,000 Direct materials cost $ 37,000 $ 27,000 Direct labor cost $ 41,000 $ 40,000 Number of setup hours 200 200 Pounds of materials used 1,000…
Solomons, Inc. has refined its allocation system by separating manufacturing overhead into two cost pools, one for each department. The estimated cost for the mixing department, $615,000, will be allocated based on direct labor hours, and the estimated direct labor hours for the year are 201,000. The estimated cost for the packaging department, $293,000, will be allocated based on direct labor hours, and the estimated machine hours for the year are 59,200. In October, the company incurred 17,240 direct labor hours in the mixing department and a total of 14,260 machine hours in the packaging department.(Round your answers to two decimal places when needed and use rounded answers for all future calculations).1. Compute the predetermined overhead allocation rates. Department Total estimated overhead cost ? Total estimated quantity of the overhead allocation base = Predetermined Overhead Allocation Rate (Per Machine Hour) Mixing Department = Packaging Department =…

What is the predetermined overhead rate for the quarter? Note: Round your answer to 2 decimal places. b. Heidelberg is thinking of adopting an ABC system. They have tentatively chosen the following cost drivers: machine-hours for machine depreciation, production runs for setup labor, and direct material dollars for materials handling. Compute the cost driver rates for the proposed system at Heidelberg.
The manager of the main laboratory facility at UrbanFit Center is interested in being able to predict the overhead costs each month for the lab. The manager believes that total overhead varies with the number of lab tests performed I that some costs remain the same each month regardless of the number of lab tests performed. The lab manager collected the following data for the first seven months of the year. (Click the icon to view the data.) Use the high-low method to determine the laboratory's cost equation for total laboratory overhead. Use your results to predict total laboratory overhead if 3,500 lab tests are performed next month. Let's begin by determining the formula that is used to calculate the variable cost (slope).

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). (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round…

Folsom Company manufactures specialty tools to customer order. There are three producingdepartments. Departmental information on budgeted overhead and various activity measuresfor the coming year is as follows: Currently, overhead is applied on the basis of machine hours using a plantwide rate.However, Janine, the controller, has been wondering whether it might be worthwhile to usedepartmental overhead rates. She has analyzed the overhead costs and drivers for the various departments and decided that Welding and Finishing should base their overhead rates on machinehours and that Assembly should base its overhead rate on direct labor hours.Janine has been asked to prepare bids for two jobs with the following information: The typical bid price includes a 35% markup over full manufacturing cost. Round all overheadrates to the nearest cent. Round all bid prices to the nearest dollar.Required:1. Calculate a plantwide rate for Folsom Company based on machine hours. What is the bidprice of…
