- Cynthia Rogers, the cost accountant for Sanford Manufacturing, is preparing a management report that must include an allocation of overhead. The budgeted overhead for each department and the data for one job are as follows: Using the departmental overhead application rates, and allocating overhead on the basis of direct labor hours, overhead applied to Job 231 in the Tooling Department would be: a. 44.00. b. 197.50. c. 241.50. d. 501.00.arrow_forwardMinor Co. has a job order cost system and applies overhead based on departmental rates. Service Department 1 has total budgeted costs of 168,000 for next year. Service Department 2 has total budgeted costs of 280,000 for next year. Minor allocates service department costs solely to the producing departments. Service Department 1 cost is allocated to producing departments on the basis of machine hours. Service Department 2 cost is allocated to producing departments on the basis of direct labor hours. Producing Department 1 has budgeted 8,000 machine hours and 12,000 direct labor hours. Producing Department 2 has budgeted 2,000 machine hours and 12,000 direct labor hours. What is the total cost allocation from the two service departments to Producing Department 1? a. 173,600 b. 140,000 c. 134,400 d. 274,400arrow_forwardLansing. Inc., provided the following data for its two producing departments: Machine hours are used to assign the overhead of the Molding Department, and direct labor hours are used to assign the overhead of the Polishing Department. There are 30,000 units of Form A produced and sold and 50,000 of Form B. Required: 1. Calculate the overhead rates for each department. 2. Using departmental rates, assign overhead to live two products and calculate the overhead cost per unit. How does this compare with the plantwide rate unit cost, using direct labor hours? 3. What if the machine hours in Molding were 1,200 for Form A and 3,800 for Form B and the direct labor hours used in Polishing were 5,000 and 15,000, respectively? Calculate the overhead cost per unit for each product using departmental rates, and compare with the plantwide rate unit costs calculated in Requirement 2. What can you conclude from this outcome?arrow_forward

- Baldwin Printing Company uses a job order cost system and applies overhead based on machine hours. A total of 150,000 machine hours have been budgeted for the year. During the year, an order for 1,000 units was completed and incurred the following: The accountant computed the inventory cost of this order to be 4.30 per unit. The annual budgeted overhead in dollars was: a. 577,500. b. 600,000. c. 645,000. d. 660,000.arrow_forwardSteeler Towel Company estimates its overhead to be $250,000. It expects to have 100,000 direct labor hours costing $2,500,000 in labor and utilizing 12,500 machine hours. Calculate the predetermined overhead rate using: A. Direct labor hours B. Direct labor dollars C. Machine hoursarrow_forwardBusiness Specialty, Inc., manufactures two staplers: small and regular. The standard quantities of direct labor and direct materials per unit for the year are as follows: The standard price paid per pound of direct materials is 1.60. The standard rate for labor is 8.00. Overhead is applied on the basis of direct labor hours. A plantwide rate is used. Budgeted overhead for the year is as follows: The company expects to work 12,000 direct labor hours during the year; standard overhead rates are computed using this activity level. For every small stapler produced, the company produces two regular staplers. Actual operating data for the year are as follows: a. Units produced: small staplers, 35,000; regular staplers, 70,000. b. Direct materials purchased and used: 56,000 pounds at 1.5513,000 for the small stapler and 43,000 for the regular stapler. There were no beginning or ending direct materials inventories. c. Direct labor: 14,800 hours3,600 hours for the small stapler and 11,200 hours for the regular stapler. Total cost of direct labor: 114,700. d. Variable overhead: 607,500. e. Fixed overhead: 350,000. Required: 1. Prepare a standard cost sheet showing the unit cost for each product. 2. Compute the direct materials price and usage variances for each product. Prepare journal entries to record direct materials activity. 3. Compute the direct labor rate and efficiency variances for each product. Prepare journal entries to record direct labor activity. 4. Compute the variances for fixed and variable overhead. Prepare journal entries to record overhead activity. All variances are closed to Cost of Goods Sold. 5. Assume that you know only the total direct materials used for both products and the total direct labor hours used for both products. Can you compute the total direct materials and direct labor usage variances? Explain.arrow_forward
- Douglas Davis, controller for Marston, Inc., prepared the following budget for manufacturing costs at two different levels of activity for 20X1: During 20X1, Marston worked a total of 80,000 direct labor hours, used 250,000 machine hours, made 32,000 moves, and performed 120 batch inspections. The following actual costs were incurred: Marston applies overhead using rates based on direct labor hours, machine hours, number of moves, and number of batches. The second level of activity (the right column in the preceding table) is the practical level of activity (the available activity for resources acquired in advance of usage) and is used to compute predetermined overhead pool rates. Required: 1. Prepare a performance report for Marstons manufacturing costs in the current year. 2. Assume that one of the products produced by Marston is budgeted to use 10,000 direct labor hours, 15,000 machine hours, and 500 moves and will be produced in five batches. A total of 10,000 units will be produced during the year. Calculate the budgeted unit manufacturing cost. 3. One of Marstons managers said the following: Budgeting at the activity level makes a lot of sense. It really helps us manage costs better. But the previous budget really needs to provide more detailed information. For example, I know that the moving materials activity involves the use of forklifts and operators, and this information is lost when only the total cost of the activity for various levels of output is reported. We have four forklifts, each capable of providing 10,000 moves per year. We lease these forklifts for five years, at 10,000 per year. Furthermore, for our two shifts, we need up to eight operators if we run all four forklifts. Each operator is paid a salary of 30,000 per year. Also, I know that fuel costs about 0.25 per move. Assuming that these are the only three items, expand the detail of the flexible budget for moving materials to reveal the cost of these three resource items for 20,000 moves and 40,000 moves, respectively. Based on these comments, explain how this additional information can help Marston better manage its costs. (Especially consider how activity-based budgeting may provide useful information for non-value-added activities.)arrow_forwardA manufacturing company has two service and two production departments. Building Maintenance and Factory Office are the service departments. The production departments are Assembly and Machining. The following data have been estimated for next years operations: The direct charges identified with each of the departments are as follows: The building maintenance department services all departments of the company, and its costs are allocated using floor space occupied, while factory office costs are allocable to Assembly and Machining on the basis of direct labor hours. 1. Distribute the service department costs, using the direct method. 2. Distribute the service department costs, using the sequential distribution method, with the department servicing the greatest number of other departments distributed first.arrow_forwardScrumptious Snacks Inc. manufactures three types of snack foods: tortilla chips, potato chips, and pretzels. The company has budgeted the following costs for the upcoming period: Factory overhead is allocated to the three products on the basis of processing hours. The Products had the following production budget and processing hours per case: a. Determine the single plantwide factory overhead rate. b. Use the overhead rate in (a) to determine the amount of total and per-case overhead allocated to each of the three products under generally accepted accounting principles.arrow_forward
