Currently, Snyder uses a single plant- wide overhead rate to allocate its $3,311,500 of annual manufacturing overhead. Of this amount, $2,070,000 is associated with the potato chip line, $763,000 is associated with the corn chip line, and $478,500 is associated with the cheese puff line. Snyder's plant is currently running a total of 17,900 machine hours: 11,500 in the potato chip line, 3,500 in the corn chip line, and 2,900 in the cheese puff line. Snyder considers machine hours to be the cost driver of manufacturing overhead costs. 1. What is Snyder's plantwide overhead rate? 2. Calculate the departmental overhead rates for Snyder's three production lines. Round all answers to the nearest cent. 3. Which products have been overcosted by the plantwide rate?

- 58-5 Special order decision (Learning Objective 3) Shilling Manufacturing produces and sells oil filters for $3.25 each. A retailer has offered to purchase 20,000 oil filters for $1.55 per filter. Of the total manufacturing cost per filter of $2.10, $1.30 is the variable manufacturing cost per filter. For this special order, Shilling would have to buy a special stamping machine that costs $8,000 to mark the customer's logo on the special order oil filters. The machine would be scrapped when the special order is complete. This special order would use manufacturing capacity that would other- wise be idle. No variable nonmanufacturing costs would be incurred by the special order. Regular sales would not be affected by the special order. Would you recommend that Shilling accept the special order under these conditions?arrow_forwardssarrow_forward53-6 Compute various manufacturing overhead rates (Learning Objective 3) Edmonton Pools manufactures swimming pool equipment. Edmonton estimates total manufacturing overhead costs next year to be $1,400,000. Edmonton also estimates it will use 50,000 direct labor hours and incur $1,000,000 of direct labor cost next year. In addition, the machines are expected to be run for 40,000 hours. Compute the prede- termined manufacturing overhead rate for next year under the following independent situations: 1. Assume that the company uses direct labor hours as its manufacturing overhead allocation base. 2. Assume that the company uses direct labor cost as its manufacturing overhead allocation base. 3. Assume that the company uses machine hours as its manufacturing overhead allocation base.arrow_forward
