Exam 2: Job-Order Costing: Calculating Unit Product Costs

Molash Corporation has two manufacturing departments--Machining and Assembly.

There were no beginning inventories. Data concerning those two jobs follow: Assume that the company uses departmental predetermined overhead rates with machine-hours as the allocation base in both production departments. Further assume that the company uses a markup of 50% on manufacturing cost to establish selling prices. The calculated selling price for Job L is closest to: (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)

Moscone Corporation bases its predetermined overhead rate on the estimated labor-hours for the upcoming year. At the beginning of the most recently completed year, the company estimated the labor-hours for the upcoming year at 78,000 labor-hours. The estimated variable manufacturing overhead was $9.99 per labor-hour and the estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead was $985,920.Required:Compute the company's predetermined overhead rate.

The fact that one department may be labor intensive while another department is machine intensive explains in part why multiple predetermined overhead rates are often used in larger companies.

Adelberg Corporation makes two products: Product A and Product B. Annual production and sales are 500 units of Product A and 1,000 units of Product B. The company has traditionally used direct labor-hours as the basis for applying all manufacturing overhead to products. Product A requires 0.4 direct labor-hours per unit and Product B requires 0.2 direct labor-hours per unit. The total estimated overhead for next period is $68,756.The company is considering switching to an activity-based costing system for the purpose of computing unit product costs for external reports. The new activity-based costing system would have three overhead activity cost pools--Activity 1, Activity 2, and General Factory--with estimated overhead costs and expected activity as follows: (Note: The General Factory activity cost pool's costs are allocated on the basis of direct labor-hours.) The overhead cost per unit of Product B under the activity-based costing system is closest to:

How much manufacturing overhead will be applied to Job B? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)g. Assume that the company uses departmental predetermined overhead rates with machine-hours as the allocation base in both production departments. How much manufacturing overhead will be applied to Job K? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

The management of Garn Corporation would like to investigate the possibility of basing its predetermined overhead rate on activity at capacity rather than on the estimated activity for the coming year. The Corporation's controller has provided an example to illustrate how this new system would work. In this example, the allocation base is machine-hours and the estimated activity for the upcoming year is 69,000 machine-hours. Capacity is 85,000 machine-hours. All of the manufacturing overhead is fixed and is $4,105,500 per year within the range of 69,000 to 85,000 machine-hours. If the Corporation bases its predetermined overhead rate on capacity but the actual level of activity for the year turns out to be 69,700 machine-hours, the cost of unused capacity shown on the income statement prepared for internal management purposes would be closest to:

Ahlheim Corporation has two production departments, Forming and Assembly. The company uses a job-order costing system and computes a predetermined overhead rate in each production department.

The following data were recorded for this job: The total amount of overhead applied in both departments to Job T924 is closest to: (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)

Lueckenhoff Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours. The company based its predetermined overhead rate for the current year on total fixed manufacturing overhead cost of $497,000, variable manufacturing overhead of $2.40 per direct labor-hour, and 70,000 direct labor-hours. The company has provided the following data concerning Job T498 which was recently completed: The total job cost for Job T498 is closest to: (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)

In a job-order costing system, costs are traced to individual units of product. The sum total of such traced costs is called the unit product cost.
