- Factory overhead rate Fabricator Inc., a specialized equipment manufacturer, uses a job order cost system. The overhead is allocated to jobs on the basis of direct labor hours. The overhead rate is now $3,000 per direct labor hour. The design engineer thinks that this is illogical. The design engineer has stated the following: Our accounting system doesn't make any sense to me. It tells me that every labor hour carries an additional burden of $3,000. This means that while direct labor makes up only 5% of our total product cost, it drives all our costs. In addition, these rates give my design engineers incentives to "design out" direct labor by using machine technology. Yet, over the past years as we have had less and less direct labor, the overhead rate keeps going up and up. I won't be surprised if next year the rate is $4,000 per direct labor hour. I'm also concerned because small errors in our estimates of the direct labor content can have a large impact on our estimated costs. Just a 30~minute error in our estimate of assembly time is worth $ 1,500. Small mistakes in our direct labor time estimates really swing our bids around. I think this puts us at a disadvantage when we are going after business. What do you think is a possible solution?arrow_forwardFactory overhead rate Fabricator Inc., a specialized equipment manufacturer, uses a job order cost system.

At the beginning of 2022, ABC estimated that manufacturing overhead for the year would be P4,800,000 and machine hours would be 80,000. The following information pertains to April 2022: Job #1 Job #2 Job #3 Work in process, April 1 P320,000 P520,000 P760,000 April production: Direct materials requisitioned 80,000 96,000 144,000 Direct labor costs 48,000 72,000 90,000 Machine hours 400 700 900 Actual overhead costs incurred during April amounted to P125,000. During April, jobs 1 and 3 were completed. Job 1 was delivered to a customer and an invoice for P800,000 was billed. Any over- or under-applied overhead is considered to be insignificant. How much is the cost of goods manufactured in April? How much is the adjusted gross profit in April?arrow_forward
