Anton believes his company's overhead costs are driven (affected) by the number of machine hours because the production process is heavily automated. During the period, the company produced 3,000 units of Product A requiring a total of 100 machine hours and 2,000 units of Product B requiring a total of 25 machine hours. What allocation rate should be used if the company incurs overhead costs of $10,000?

Z Inc. manufactures a component Zeta which it uses in production of its main product. The manufacturing costs per unit of Zeta are as follows: Item Cost per unit Direct material Direct labor Variable manufacturing overhead Fixed manufacturing overhead 3.50 4.50 2.50 2.00 Annual requirement of Zeta is 8,000 units. Fixed manufacturing overhead is allocated to Zeta based on machine-hours used in its production and cannot be avoided if production of Zeta is stopped. An outside supplier has offered Z Inc. to supply 8,000 units at a total cost of $96,000. If Z Inc. purchases the component Zeta from the outside supplier, how will it affect its operating income? a. Operating income will increase by $4,000 b. Operating income will decrease by $4,000 c. Operating income will increase by $6,000 d. Operating income will decrease by $12,000
Harris, Inc., has just completed two jobs: Job A and Job B, which were similar in terms of complexity, production processes, and units manufactured. Job A was manufactured by Joe who earns Rs. 14 per hour, whereas Job B was completed by Susan who earns Rs. 20 per hour. If Joe and Susan are equally efficient, would the company be better off using direct labor cost or direct labor hours as the cost driver in its predetermined overhead rate? Briefly explain.
“Blast it!” said David Wilson, president of Teledex Company. “We’ve just lost the bid on the Koopers job by $4,000. It seems we’re either too high to get the job or too low to make any money on half the jobs we bid.” Teledex Company manufactures products to customers’ specifications and uses a job-order costing system. The company uses a plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor cost to apply its manufacturing overhead (assumed to be all fixed) to jobs. The following estimates were made at the beginning of the year: Department Fabricating Machining Assembly Total Plant Manufacturing overhead $ 362,250 $ 414,000 $ 93,150 $ 869,400 Direct labor $ 207,000 $ 103,500 $ 310,500 $ 621,000 Jobs require varying amounts of work in the three departments. The Koopers job, for example, would have required manufacturing costs in the three departments as follows: Department Fabricating Machining Assembly Total Plant Direct materials $ 3,700…

Jean Sharpe decides to gather additional data to identify the cause of overhead costs and figure out which products are most profitable. She notices that $30,000 of the overhead originated from the equipment used. She decides to incorporate machine-hours into the overhead allocation base to determine the effect on product profitability. Almond Dream requires 2 machine-hours per case, Krispy Krackle requires 7 hours per case, and Creamy Crunch requires 6 hours per case. Additionally, Jean notices that the $15,000 per month spent to rent 10,000 square feet of factory space accounts for almost 22 percent of the overhead. The assignment of square feet is 1,000 to Almond Dream, 4,000 to Krispy Krackle, and 5,000 to Creamy Crunch. Jean decides to incorporate this into the allocation base for the rental costs. Because labor-hours are still an important cost driver for overhead, Jean decides that she should use labor-hours to allocate the remaining $24,500. CBI still plans to produce 1,000…
