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:
Fabrication Department factory overhead
Assembly Department factory overhead
Total
Direct labor hours were estimated as follows:
Fabrication Department
Assembly Department

- Mt. Palomar Manufacturing Co. uses a process cost system. Its manufacturing operation is carried on in two departments: Machining and Finishing. The Machining Department uses the weighted average cost method, and the Finishing Department uses the FIFO cost method. Materials are added in both departments at the beginning of operations, but the added materials do not increase the number of units being processed. Units are lost in the Machining Department throughout the production process, and inspection occurs at the end of the process. The lost units have no scrap value and are considered to be a normal loss. Production statistics for July show the following data: Required: Prepare a cost of production summary for each department. (Round unit costs to three decimal places.) Which department will have an easier time determining how its unit costs compare from month to month? Why?arrow_forwardActivity-based costing and product cost distortion The management of Four Finger Appliance Company in Exercise 14 has asked you to use activity-based costing instead of direct labor hours to allocate factory overhead costs to the two products. You have determined that 81,000 of factory overhead from each of the production departments can be associated with setup activity (162,000 in total). Company records indicate that blenders required 135 setups, while the toaster ovens required only 45 setups. Each product has a production volume of 7,500 units. Determine the three activity rates (assembly, test and pack, and setup). Determine the total factory overhead and factory overhead per unit allocated to each product using the activity rates in (A).arrow_forwardSingle Plantwide and Multiple Production Department Factory Overhead Rate Methods and Product Cost Distortion The management of Firebolt Industries Inc. manufactures gasoline and diesel engines through two production departments, Fabrication and Assembly.

- Problem 2 Ticketprint Corporation owns a small printing press that prints tickets for concerts, sport events and other live events Ticketprint classifies its various printing loads as standard loads or special loads Ticketprint's simple job-costing system has two direct-cost categories (direct materials and direct labor) and a single indirect-cost pool Ticketprint allocates all indirect costs using printing machine-hours as the allocation base. Ticketprint is concerned about the accuracy of the costs assigned to standard and special loads and therefore is planning to implement an activity-based costing (ABC) system Ticketprint's ABC system would have the same direct-cost categories as its simple costing system. However, instead of a single indirect cost pool there would now be six categories for assigning indirect costs: design, purchasing. setup, printing machine operations, marketing and administration. To see how ABC system would affect the costs of standard and special loads,…arrow_forwardNo Ai solutionarrow_forwardabsorption. Question three The Lynn Company uses a job costing system at its Minneapolis plant. The plant has a Machining department and Assembly department. Its job costing system has two direct cost categories (direct materials and direct manufacturing labor) and two manufacturing overhead cost pools (the Machining department overhead, allocated to jobs based on actual machine hours and the Assembly department overhead. Allocated to jobs based on actual direct manufacturing labor costs).

- Subject- accountarrow_forwardTwo years ago, company scientists developed an alloy with all of the properties of the raw materials used in XL-D that generates no wastewater. Some prototype components using the new material were produced and tested and found to be indistinguishable from the old components in every way relating to their fitness for use. The only difference is that the new alloy is more expensive than the old raw material. The company has been test-marketing the newer version of the component, referred to as XL-C, and is currently trying to decide its fate. Manufacturing of both components begins in the Production Department and is completed in the Assembly Department. No other products are produced in the plant. The following information relates to the two components: Units produced Raw material costs per unit Direct labor-hours per unit-Production Direct labor-hours per unit-Assembly Direct labor rate per hour-all labor Machine-hours per unit-Production Machine-hours per unit-Assembly Testing hours…arrow_forwardsolve both questionsarrow_forward
