Additi Child Life Designs makes custom backyard play structures that it sells to dealers across the Midwest The play structures are produced in two departments, fabrication (a mostly automated department) and custom finishing (a mostly manual department) The company uses a normal-costing system in which overhead in the fabrication department is allocated to jobs on the basis of machine-hours and overhead in the finishing department is allocated to jobs based on direct manufacturing labor hours. During May, Child Life Designs reported actual overhead of $55,400 in the fabrication department and $41,100 in the finishing department Child sold b Read Data lable Manufacturing overhead rate (fabrication department) $15 per machine-hour $25 per direct manuf. labor- hour 3,400 machine-hours Manufacturing overhead rate (finishing department) Machine-hours (fabrication department) for May Direct manuf. labor-hours (finishing department) for May Work-in-process inventory, May 31 Finished-goods inventory, May 31 Cost of goods sold, May $ 1,500 labor-hours 87,000 145,000 348,000 $ $ 1. Calculate the amount of overhead allocated in the fabrication department and the finishing department in May. 2. Calculate the amount of under- or overallocated overhead in each department and in total. 3. How much of the under- or overallocated overhead will be prorated to (a) work- in-process inventory, (b) finished-goods inventory, and (c) cost of goods sold based on the ending balance (before proration) in each of the three accounts? What will be the balance in work-in-process, finished goods, and cost of goods sold after proration? 4.
