Dimanche uses labor hours to allocate costs from Cost Pool #1, and machine hours to allocate costs from Cost Pool #2.

The following jobs were started during the year:

Job A1

Prime costs             $20,000

Labor hours                 5,000

Machine hours         12,000

Job A2

Prime costs            $32,000

Labor hours                8,000

Machine hours        20,000

Job A3

Prime costs             $26,000

Labor hours                6,500

Machine hours         13,000

Job A4

Prime costs            $29,000

Labor hours                6,000

Machine hours          9,000

Job A5

Prime costs            $18,000

Labor hours               2,400

Machine hours             540

Job A6

Prime costs           $38,000

Labor hours            10,000

Machine hours      30,000


Jobs A3 and A5 were still in process at the end of the year.  Job A4 was completed, but had not been sold at the end of the year.  

Actual indirect cost information for the year:

Indirect Cost Pool #1    $  65,000

Indirect Cost Pool #2    $178,000

Assume any over or underapplied overhead amounts are material.

E.  Use the Allocated (Applied) Overhead pro-ration method to dispose of the over or under applied overhead.  Make the necessary journal entries, in good form.  (Note: when allocating over or underapplied overhead using the Allocated Overhead method each cost pool must be allocated separately.)

F.  Use the Adjusted Allocation Rate (Actual Allocation) method to determine the net adjustment to each job.  Do not prepare the journal entries.  What is the benefit of using this method?

G.  Calculate the total manufacturing cost that will appear as cost of goods sold on Dimanche’s income statement using 1) the allocations from D and 2) the allocations from E.
