Rockford Company has four departmental accounts: Building Maintenance, General Factory Overhead, Machining, and Assembly. The direct labor hour method is used to apply factory overhead to the jobs being worked on in Machining and Assembly. The company expects each production department to use 30,000 direct labor hours during the year. The estimated overhead rates for the year include the following: During the year, both Machining and Assembly used 28,000 direct labor hours. Factory overhead costs incurred during the year follow: In determining application rates at the beginning of the year, cost allocations were made as follows, using the sequential distribution method: Building Maintenance to: General Factory Overhead, 10%; Machining, 50%; Assembly, 40%. General factory overhead was distributed according to direct labor hours. Required: Determine the under- or overapplied overhead for each production department. (Hint: First you must distribute the service department costs.)
Abbey Products Company is studying the results of applying factory overhead to production. The following data have been used: estimated factory overhead, 60,000; estimated materials costs, 50,000; estimated direct labor costs, 60,000; estimated direct labor hours, 10,000; estimated machine hours, 20,000; work in process at the beginning of the month, none. The actual factory overhead incurred for November was 80,000, and the production statistics on November 30 are as follows: Required: 1. Compute the predetermined rate, based on the following: a. Direct labor cost b. Direct labor hours c. Machine hours 2. Using each of the methods, compute the estimated total cost of each job at the end of the month. 3. Determine the under-or overapplied factory overhead, in total, at the end of the month under each of the methods. 4. Which method would you recommend? Why?
Brees, Inc., a manufacturer of golf carts, has just received an offer from a supplier to provide 2,600 units of a component used in its main product. The component is a track assembly that is currently produced internally. The supplier has offered to sell the track assembly for 66 per unit. Brees is currently using a traditional, unit-based costing system that assigns overhead to jobs on the basis of direct labor hours. The estimated traditional full cost of producing the track assembly is as follows: Prior to making a decision, the companys CEO commissioned a special study to see whether there would be any decrease in the fixed overhead costs. The results of the study revealed the following: 3 setups1,160 each (The setups would be avoided, and total spending could be reduced by 1,160 per setup.) One half-time inspector is needed. The company already uses part-time inspectors hired through a temporary employment agency. The yearly cost of the part-time inspectors for the track assembly operation is 12,300 and could be totally avoided if the part were purchased. Engineering work: 470 hours, 45/hour. (Although the work decreases by 470 hours, the engineer assigned to the track assembly line also spends time on other products, and there would be no reduction in his salary.) 75 fewer material moves at 30 per move. Required: 1. Ignore the special study, and determine whether the track assembly should be produced internally or purchased from the supplier. 2. Now, using the special study data, repeat the analysis. 3. Discuss the qualitative factors that would affect the decision, including strategic implications. 4. After reviewing the special study, the controller made the following remark: This study ignores the additional activity demands that purchasing would cause. For example, although the demand for inspecting the part on the production floor decreases, we may need to inspect the incoming parts in the receiving area. Will we actually save any inspection costs? Is the controller right?
Compute the total job cost for each of the following scenarios: a. If the direct labor cost method is used in applying factory overhead and the predetermined rate is 100%, what amount should be charged to Job 2010 for factory overhead?
