- Overhead Assignment: Actual and Normal Activity Compared Reynolds Printing Company specializes in wedding announcements. Reynolds uses an actual job-order costing system. An actual overhead rate is calculated at the end of each month using actual direct labor hours and overhead for the month. Once the actual cost of a job is determined, the customer is billed at actual cost plus 50%. During April, Mrs. Lucky, a good friend of owner Jane Reynolds, ordered three sets of wedding announcements to be delivered May 10, June 10, and July 10, respectively. Reynolds scheduled production for each order on May 7, June 7, and July 7, respectively. The orders were assigned job numbers 115, 116, and 117, respectively. Reynolds assured Mrs. Lucky that she would attend each of her daughters weddings. Out of sympathy and friendship, she also offered a lower price. Instead of cost plus 50%, she gave her a special price of cost plus 25%. Additionally, she agreed to wait until the final wedding to bill for the three jobs. On August 15, Reynolds asked her accountant to bring her the completed job-order cost sheets for Jobs 115, 116, and 117. She also gave instructions to lower the price as had been agreed upon. The cost sheets revealed the following information: Reynolds could not understand why the overhead costs assigned to Jobs 116 and 117 were so much higher than those for Job 115. She asked for an overhead cost summary sheet for the months of May, June, and July, which showed that actual overhead costs were 20,000 each month. She also discovered that direct labor hours worked on all jobs were 500 hours in May and 250 hours each in June and July. Required: 1. How do you think Mrs. Lucky will feel when she receives the bill for the three sets of wedding announcements? 2. Explain how the overhead costs were assigned to each job. 3. Assume that Reynoldss average activity is 500 hours per month and that the company usually experiences overhead costs of 240,000 each year. Can you recommend a better way to assign overhead costs to jobs? Recompute the cost of each job and its price, given your method of overhead cost assignment. Which method do you think is best? Why?arrow_forwardBangor Products Co. obtained the following information from its records for April: Required: 1. Prepare, in summary form, the journal entries that would have been made during the month to record issuing materials to production, the distribution of labor, and overhead costs; the completion of the jobs; and the sale of the jobs. 2. Prepare schedules computing the following for April: a. The gross profit or loss for each job completed and for the business as a whole. b. For each job, the gross profit or loss per unit.
