Exam 15: Job Order Costing and Analysis

Since a predetermined overhead allocation rate is established before a period begins,this rate is revised many times during the period to compensate for inaccurate estimates previously made.

In a job order cost accounting system,indirect labor costs are debited to the Factory Overhead account.

A manufacturing company uses a job order cost accounting system.Overhead is applied using pounds of direct materials used as an allocation base.Total costs for a particular job were $5,720.Of this amount $2,600 was direct labor and $1,040 was direct material.The company pays $26 per hour of direct labor and $2 per pound of direct materials.What is this company's overhead rate?

Overhead is applied as a percent of direct labor costs.Estimated overhead and direct labor costs for the year were $250,000 and $125,000,respectively.During the year,actual overhead was $248,000 and actual direct labor cost was $123,000.The entry to close the over- or underapplied overhead at year-end,assuming an immaterial amount,would include:

A company's manufacturing accounting system applies overhead based on direct labor cost.The company's manufacturing costs for the current year were: direct labor,$57,600; direct materials,$76,800; and factory overhead,$9,600.Calculate the company's overhead allocation rate.

In a job order cost accounting system,any immaterial underapplied overhead at the end of the period can be charged entirely to Cost of Goods Sold.

Using the following accounts and an overhead rate of 80% of direct labor cost,determine the amount of applied overhead.

A job order manufacturing system would be appropriate for a company that produces which one of the following items?

The Goods in Process Inventory account of a manufacturing company that uses an overhead rate based on direct labor cost has a $7,750 debit balance after all posting is completed.The cost sheet of the one job still in process shows direct material cost of $6,000 and direct labor cost of $1,000.Therefore,the company's overhead application rate is:

Job order manufacturing is also known as:

If one unit of Product X used $.75 of direct materials and $6.00 of direct labor,sold for $12.00,and was assigned overhead at the rate of 20% of direct labor costs,how much gross profit was realized from this sale?
