Braverman company has two manufacturing departments- Finishing and fabrication. The predetermined overhead rates in finishing and fabrication are $18 per direct labor hour and 110% of direct material cost respectively. The company's direct labor wage rate is $16 per hour. Finishing: DM= $410 DL=$128 Fabrication: DM=$60 DL=$48 What is the total manufacturing cost assigned to job 700?

DM (410+60)= 470 DL (128+48)= 176 Finishing OH (18 per DLH x 8DLH)=144 ***Total direct labor hours= direct labor cost of 128/ Direct labor wage rate per hour 16= 8DLH**** Fabrication OH (110% x 60)= 66 Total manufacturing cost = 470+176+144+66= $856

$2.00 Total cost of job #420= DM +DL +OH (predetermined OH rate x DL cost) = $4,000 + $5,000 + (1.2 x 5,000) = $15,000 $15,000/7,500 units= $2.00 per unit

Est MOH: company- $500,000 Dept. A- $338,000 Dept. B- $162,000 Est. DL cost: Company- $250,000 Dept. A-$130,000 Dept. B- $120,000 Actual MOH: company- $720,000 Dept. A- $400,000 Dept. B=$320,000 Actual DL cost: company-$300,000 Dept. A-$160,000 Dept. B-$140,000 Based on this info, the predetermined overhead rate per direct labor dollar for Dept. A is

Hahn Company uses a job-order costing system. Its plantwide predetermined overhead rate uses direct labor-hours as the allocation base. The company pays its direct laborers $15 per hour. During the year, the company started and completed only two jobs—Job Alpha, which used 54,500 direct labor-hours, and Job Omega. The job cost sheets for the these two jobs are shown below: Job Alpha: DM= ? DL= ? MOH=? total job cost= $1,533,500 Job Omega: DM= 235,000 DL= 345,000 MOH= 184,000 total job cost= $764,000 Calculate job cost sheet for Job Alpha

Direct materials is a plug in figure since the total job cost is given and DL and MOH applied can be calculated DL (54,500 DLHs x $15 per DLH) = $817,500 MOH ($8 per DLH x 54,500 DLH)= $436,000 **$8 was plantwide overhead rate calculated in previous problem DM= total cost of $1,533,000- DL of $817,500 - MOH of $436,000= $280,000

Companies assign costs to product and services to

Estimated total MH: Forming 9,000 Assembly 1,000 Total 10,000 Estimated total fixed MOH cost: Forming $52,200 Assembly $2,400 Total $54,600 Estimated Variable MOH cost per MH: Forming $2.00 Assembly $2.10 Job B: forming machine hours 6,100 Assembly machine hours 400 Job H: Forming machine hours 2,900 Assembly machine hours 600 Assume that the company uses a plant wide predetermined manufacturing overhead rate based on machine hours. The amount of manufacturing overhead applied to Job B is closest to

$48,555 First step is to calculate estimated total overhead cost in the two departments: Forming- Fixed MOH of $52,200+ Variable MOH of ($2 x 9,000 MHs) 18,000= $70,200 total OH Assembly: Fixed OH of $2,400 + Variable OH of (2.10 per MH x 1,000 MHs) 2,100= $4,500 total OH second step is to combine MOH cost in both departments to equal total of $74,700 to get plantwide predetermined overhead rate: est. total MOH $74,700/ est. total MH of 10,000= $7.47 per MH then overhead applied to Job B: Overhead applied to particular job= predetermined OH rate x machine hours incurred by the job = $7.47 per MH x (6,100 MH's + 400 MHs) = $48,555

Predetermined overhead rate per direct labor hour- $2.10 $2.40 $1.80 Direct labor hours worked on Job ABC Based on this info, the overhead applied to job ABC using multiple predetermine overhead rates is

$64.20 ($2.40 x 17 + $1.80 x 13= $64.20)

Spartan corp estimates that it will incur $200,000 of total manufacturing overhead cost at an estimated activity level of 10,000 direct-labor hours. What is the amount of manufacturing overhead that would be applied to a job that required 200 direct labor hours?

Predetermined overhead rate = $200,000/ 10,000 DLHs = $20 per DLH For 200 DLHs, the manufacturing overhead that would be applied is $20 per DLH x 200 DLHs= $4,000

Braverman company has two manufacturing departments- Finishing and fabrication. The predetermined overhead rates in finishing and fabrication are $18 per direct labor hour and 110% of direct material cost respectively. The company's direct labor wage rate is $16 per hour.

Hahn Company uses a job-order costing system. Its plantwide predetermined overhead rate uses direct labor-hours as the allocation base. The company pays its direct laborers $15 per hour. During the year, the company started and completed only two jobs—Job Alpha, which used 54,500 direct labor-hours, and Job Omega. The job cost sheets for the these two jobs are shown below: Job Alpha: DM= ? DL= ? MOH=? total job cost= $1,533,500 Job Omega: DM= 235,000 DL= 345,000 MOH= 184,000 total job cost= $764,000 Calculate the predetermined overhead rate

step 1: total direct labor hours required for job Omega: DL-345,000/DL wage rate $15= 23,000 total direct labor hours worked step 2: derive plant wide predetermined overhead rate: MOH applied to Job omega $184,000/ Direct labor hours worked on job omega 23,000= $8 per DLH which is plantwide predetermined overhead rate
