Manufacturing overhead was estimated to be $397,100 for the year along with 20,900 direct labor hours. Actual manufacturing overhead was $418,600, and actual labor hours were 23,000. To dispose of the balance in the Manufacturing Overhead account, which of the following would be correct?

Cost of Goods Sold would be credited for $18,400 Calculate the predetermined overhead rate by dividing total estimated manufacturing overhead by total estimated direct labor hours. ($397,100 / 20,900 = $19.00). Apply manufacturing overhead by multiplying the predetermined overhead rate by the actual number of direct labor hours. ($19.00 × 23,000 = $437,000). The amount of overhead applied ($437,000) on the credit side of the manufacturing overhead account exceeded the actual overhead costs ($418,600) on the debit side of the manufacturing overhead account, so the overhead was overapplied with a credit balance of $18,400. ($437,000 - $$418,600 = $18,400) The most common way of correcting this is with a direct charge, in this case a debit to the manufacturing overhead account to close it out and an offsetting credit to cost of goods sold.

Cost of Goods Sold would be decreased by $5,000.

Optimum Finance Inc. provides budget, savings, and investment services to clients who want a stress-free financial lifestyle. The company customizes a program for each client based on their individual goals that includes budget recommendations, investment counseling, and savings techniques. The company uses a job order cost system that keeps track of the cost of the amount of time financial consultants spend with each client. Optimum applies all indirect operating costs (e.g., rent, utilities, and management salaries) as a percentage of the consultant's labor cost. During the most recent year, the firm estimated that it would pay $500,000 to its consultants and incur indirect operating costs of $750,000. Actual consultant labor costs were $537,500 and actual indirect operating costs were $725,000. During the year, Optimum provided 64 hours of consulting services to Robert Howard for which Optimum pays an average of $18 per hour. What is the total cost of providing services to Robert?

Dehner 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 the following data: Total direct labor-hours 40,000 Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 96,000 Variable manufacturing overhead per direct labor-hour $ 3.00 Recently, Job P951 was completed with the following characteristics: Number of units in the job 20 Total direct labor-hours 100 Direct materials $ 755 Direct labor cost $ 4,000 The predetermined overhead rate is closest to:

Estimated total manufacturing overhead cost = Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead cost + (Estimated variable overhead cost per unit of the allocation base × Estimated total amount of the allocation base) = $96,000 + ($3.00 per direct labor-hour × 40,000 direct labor-hours) = $96,000 + $120,000 = $216,000 Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated total manufacturing overhead cost ÷ Estimated total amount of the allocation base = $216,000 ÷ 40,000 direct labor-hours = $5.40 per direct labor-hour Overhead applied to a particular job = Predetermined overhead rate × Amount of the allocation base incurred by the job = $5.40 per direct labor-hour × 100 direct labor-hours = $540

What types of activities are carried out regardless of which products are produced, how many batches are run, or how many units are produced?

Facility-level

If a job is not completed at year end, then no manufacturing overhead cost would be applied to that job when a predetermined overhead rate is used.

False

In departments that are relatively labor-intensive, their overhead costs should be applied to jobs based on machine-hours rather than on direct labor-hours. T/F

False

Job cost sheets contain entries for actual direct material, actual direct labor, and actual manufacturing overhead cost incurred in completing a job.

False

True or false: When a manufacturing overhead cost relates to multiple activities, the cost should be allocated to the activity that has the highest total overhead cost.

False

A job cost sheet will record the direct materials and direct labor used by the job but not the manufacturing overhead applied.

False A job cost sheet summarizes all of the costs incurred on a specific job, not just direct materials and direct labor.

Activity Based Costing divides activities into two categories: unit-level activities and facility level activities.

False Activity Based Costing divides activities into four categories: facility-level, product-level, batch-level, and unit-level activities.

Activity-based costing is not appropriate for service providers since they do not have manufacturing overhead that needs to be assigned to products.

False Although service providers do not have manufacturing overhead, they incur many indirect costs, such as rent, supplies, supervision, advertising, and administrative expenses. ABC can be used to assign these costs to different services and customers.

When manufacturing overhead is applied to a job, a credit is made to the Work in Process account.

False Applied manufacturing overhead is debited (not credited) to Work in Process inventory. The credit is to the Manufacturing Overhead account.

To eliminate underapplied overhead at the end of the year, Manufacturing Overhead would be debited and Cost of Goods Sold would be credited.

False If manufacturing overhead is underapplied during the year, Manufacturing Overhead will need to be credited to bring the account balance to zero, while Cost of Goods Sold would be debited.

Each individual indirect cost should be assigned to one activity when forming activity cost pools.

False Some costs will need to be allocated among several activities (not one activity).

A job cost sheet will record the direct materials and direct labor used by the job but not the manufacturing overhead applied

False - because a job cost sheet summarizes all of the costs incurred on a specific job

A fixed cost will stay constant on a per unit basis as the volume increases

False - because fixed costs remain constant in total and decrease per unit as volume increases

Manufacturing overhead includes all costs of producing a product except for indirect materials and indirect labor

False - because manufacturing overhead includes all manufacturing costs except direct materials and direct labor

Step costs are fixed over some range of activity and then increase like a variable cost

False - because step costs are fixed over a certain range of activity and increase in a step-like manner when the next range of activity is reached

The relevant range is the range in which costs remain variable

False - because the relevant range is the range of activity over which assumptions about cost behavior hold true

Activity based management is a method of assigning indirect costs to products or services based on the activities they require

False - because this describes activity based costing, not activity based management

Variable costs are always direct costs

False - because variable costs are not always direct costs, which can be traced to a specific cost object

Manufacturing overhead was estimated to be $406,000 for the year along with 20,300 direct labor hours. Actual manufacturing overhead was $423,400, and actual labor hours were 21,500. Which of the following would be correct?

Overhead is overapplied by $6,600 Calculate the predetermined overhead rate by dividing the estimated total manufacturing overhead by the estimated total direct labor hours. ($406,000 / 20,300 = $20.00). Apply manufacturing overhead by multiplying the predetermined rate by the actual total direct labor hours. ($20.00 × 21,500 = $430,000). Since the applied overhead ($430,000) on the credit side of the manufacturing overhead account is greater than the actual overhead ($423,400) on the debit side of the manufacturing overhead account, the $6,600 credit balance represents overapplied overhead.

Manufacturing overhead is applied to each job using which formula?

The local summer baseball league wants to buy new uniforms for its teams. The current uniforms are quite old and will require $400 in repairs before they can be handed out to players next week for the upcoming season. The old uniforms will be replaced as soon as new ones can be purchased. League leaders have investigated several possible fund raisers and have narrowed the choice down to 2 options: candy sales and car washes. Each option can generate the $2,500 that the new uniforms would cost. Option 1: The candy sales option would require the league to purchase 2,000 candy bars at a cost of $0.75 each. The players and coaches would then sell the bars for $2 each. The league estimates that it would take about 4 weeks to sell the candy and collect all of the money Option 2: The car wash option would require about $200 for buckets, sponges, soap, and towels. A local business has offered to donate the water (estimated at $300 total) and a location. The car washes would be held on Saturdays, and each team would be required to provide workers. Each car wash day is expected to generate $450 in proceeds, so the league expects that it would take 6 weeks to raise $2,500 Which factors are relevant and irrelevant to deciding which project to engage in 1. Repair costs for the old uniforms, $400 2. Initial outlay to purchase the candy bars, $1,500 3. Initial outlay to purchase car wash supplies, $200 4. Cost of water for the car wash option, $300 5.

Describe the four dimensions of the balanced scorecard and explain how they are used to evaluate managerial performance.

The balanced scorecard is a comprehensive performance measurement system that translates the organization's vision and strategy into a set of operational performance measures. The balanced scorecard measures operational performance on four key dimensions: customer perspective, learning and growth perspective, internal business processes perspective, and financial perspective. The customer perspective focuses on customers' perception of the company through measures such as customer retention, customer satisfaction, and market share. The learning and growth perspective focuses on the organization's ability to change and improve through measures such as the amount of money spent on research and development and employee education and training. Page 437 The internal business processes perspective focuses on the internal processes required to meet customer needs through measures such as on-time-delivery, quality, inventory stock-outs, and process efficiency. The financial perspective focuses on traditional financial measures of performance, such as return on investment, residual income, and economic value added.

lagging indicators; leading indicators

net present value (NPV):

method compares the present value (PV) of a project's future cash inflows to the PV of the cash outflows. The difference between the present value of the cash inflows and outflows is called the net present value.

return on investment formula:

net operating income/average invested assets

profit margin formula:

net operating income/sales revenue
