ex: Alpha applies MOH based on direct labor hours. Assume the variable MOH rate is $0.50 per direct labor hour. The total fixed MOH costs are expected to be $80,000 next year. Direct labor cost for 40,000 direct labor hours is expected to be $400,000 next year. calculate the predetermined OH Rate

$2.50 per DL hour variable. 0.50 fixed (80,000/40,000) 2.00 _____________________________________ $2.50 per DL hour

Medco applies manufacturing overhead costs to production at a rate of $6 per machine hour. During may, Job 400 was started and completed and Job 401 was started but not yet complete at the end of the month. What is the predetermined rate?

$6 per machine hour

KA catering uses a job order costing system to assign costs to its catering jobs. Overhead is allocated to each job based on direct labor hours. Listed below is data for the current year. Determine the amount of OVERHEAD APPLIED to work in process during the period budgeted overhead: $90,000 actual overhead cost incurred: $77,000 budgeted labor: $100,000 for 10,000 hours actual labor: $95,000 for 9,000 hours

$81,000 Step 1: budgeted cost/ budgeted activity 90,000 / 10,000= $9.00 per DL hour step 2: oh rate x actual activity $9 per DL hour x 9000 hours= $81,000

OH applied=

(predetermined OH rate) * (actual activity)

average cost per unit

(total product costs for the job) / (number of units in the job)

In an activity-based costing system, the ____________________ expresses how much of the activity is carried out and is used as the allocation base for assigning overhead costs.

ACTIVITY MEASURE

Mickley Company's plantwide predetermined overhead rate is $14.00 per direct labor-hour and its direct labor wage rate is $17.00 per hour. The following information pertains to Job A-500: Direct materials$ 231 Direct labor$ 153 Required: 1. What is the total manufacturing cost assigned to Job A-500? 2. If Job A-500 consists of 40 units, what is the unit product cost for this job?

Total Manufacturing Cost= $510 Unit Product Cost= $12.75

JE for when raw materials are used in productions

WIP ----raw materials Inv (direct materials are used)

JE for When direct labor is recorded

WIP Inv -----Cash/Wages payable

recording product costs, when incurred, manufacturing costs are assigned to

WIP inventory

inventory that has been started in production but not yet completed

Work in progress (WIP Inv)

Batch-level

activities and costs incurred for every batch, regardless of the number of units in the batch ex: purchase orders are issued for materials used in production

facility-level (organization sustaining) activities

activities required to support the organization regardless of what products are produced or how many units are made ex: insurance costs are incurred on the company's faciliites

unit-level

activities that are performed each time a unit is produced ex: products are assembled by hand

direct materials costs

assign direct material USED directly to each job

direct labor costs

assign labor costs directly to each job

manufacturing overhead costs (OH)

assign overhead APPLIED to each job ( bc these are indirect costs) assign an estimated amount of overhead cost to inventory by using a predetermined overhead rate

DM Used schedule

beg DM inve +purchases of new material ____________________ materials available to sell (ending DM) ______________________ DM Used

Which of the following activities would most likely use number of items shipped as the activity measure to assign costs to products or customers? a. receiving materials b. machine setup c. shipping cost d. production equipment maintenance

c) shipping costs

recording product costs, when units are sold, cost is transferred to

cost of goods sold

use the Job order cost system if

customize orders or produce many, highly differentiated products

Differences of Job Order and Process System

different in how they assign the costs to INDIVIDUAL UNITS of inventory. In Process Costing--DM, DL, and OH are added in multiple departments therefore must have a WIP account for each department. ex: Campbell's soup factory- washing, cooking, spicing, labeling department

Compute the Activity Rates for Cost Pools

estimated total overhead cost/ estimated total activity

Inventory that has been completed but not yet sold

finished goods (FG inventory)

Why is accurate product costing critical to a company's success?

it is needed to determine product profitability and to prepare accurate financial stmts

Non-manufacturing vs manufacturing costs

non-manufacturing--> selling and admin expenses/operating expenses expense in the period incurred manufacturing--> DM,DL,MOH record as a CA then expense as COGS

Did the company over apply or under apply overhead?

overapplied by $4000 actual= 77000 applied 81000

cost accounting involves the measuring, recording, and reporting of __________

product costs DM DL MOH

JE for when raw materials are purchaseed

raw materials inv ----cash/ap

allocate equally among the various products vs allocate based on consumption

traditional vs abc

Debit COGS

when inventory is sold

Debit WIP when

DM is used DL is recorded OH is applied

use the process cost system when

we need to mass produce a very similar product--have a continuous production process of homogenous products

When is overhead underapplied?

when actual OH costs are greater than Applied OH DEBIT BALANCE

when is overhead overapplied?

when actual OH costs are less than Applied OH CREDIT BALANCE

Debit FG Inv

when inventory is completed

Which costing system is more costly to use? Job order or Process Cost?

Job Order

when MOH is overapplied, the entry to close COGS account

MOH ----COGS

JE when indirect materials are used

MOH ----Raw Materials Inv

JE when indirect labor is recorded

MOH ---Cash/Wages payable

Clonex Labs, Incorporated, uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. The following data are available for one department for October: beginning WIP- 30,000 M- 65%. C-30% end WIP- 15,000 M- 80%. C-40% The department started 175,000 units into production during the month and transferred 190,000 completed units to the next department. Required:Compute the equivalent units of production for October.

Materials: 202,000 Conversion 196,000

what costing do we use in this class? Actual or Normal costing?

Normal costing assign actual DM Used and DL cost to each unit allocate share of MOH cost to each unit

Cont. During January direct labor costs incurred totaled $45,000 for 3,000 DL hours worked. Actual overhead costs incurred totaled $8,000 for the month. Determine the amount of overhead allocated to production during January

OH Applied= $7500 $2.50 per DL hour x 3000 DL hours= $7500

direct and indirect materials that have been purchased but not yet used in production

Raw materials (RM Inventory)

Similarities of Job order and Process System...

Similar in the way production costs are recorded: DM used, DL, OH applied debit to WIP INV when inventory is complete debit to FG INV when inventory is sold debit to COGS

4 steps to implement ABC

Step 1: define activities and cost pools Step 2: identify the activity measure for each cost pool Step 3: Calculate activity rates Step 4: Assign overhead cost to cost objects

T/F ABC is designed to provide managers with cost information for management decisions; it is usually a supplement to, rather than a replacement for the firm's traditional costing system

TRUE

journal entry: manufacturing overhead is allocated based on direct labor costs. Estimated overhead costs for the year is $90,000 and estimated labor cost is $30,000 for 3000 direct labor hours. additional info: paid factory wages for direct labor as follow: $1000 and $1200.

[WIP Inv 6600 -----MOH 6600] OH applied: $3 x 2200= 6600

What are the three schedules used?

DM USED COGM COGS

Under the Job Order Cost system, assign DM used, DL and OH applied to

Each job under WIP INV

measure of the work done during the period, expressed in fully completed units; this allows accountants to calculate cost per unit when some units are partially complete

Equivalent Units

recording product costs, when a job is completed, cost is transferred to

FG inventory

T/F Overhead is closed at the end of the period bc it is temporary account

TRUE this is why we must adjust COGS

predetermined overhead rate=

(budgeted total MOH costs) / (budgeted total activity)

technique that attempts to assign overhead costs to products based on the activity that CAUSES costs to be incurred

Activity Based Costing (ABC)

Preparing a production Cost Report (using weighted-average method) 6 steps to prepare:

1) account for the physical flow of units (beg WIP + Units started = end WIP + units completed) 2) accumulate costs 3) calculate equivalent units 4) calculate cost per equivalent unit 5) value inventories 6) cost reconciliation (beg costs + current costs = cost of end WIP + cost of unit completed)

What are two limitations of ABC?

1) expensive to implement and maintain 2) some arbitrary allocations remain (still not perfect)

What are two benefits of ABC?

1) product cost accuracy ****** 2) a better understanding of OH costs --for better control

product-level activities
