Harrison's Fine Furnishings manufactures upscale custom furniture. Harrison's currently uses a plantwide overhead rate based on direct labor hours to allocate its $1,290,000 of manufacturing overhead to individual jobs. However, Debra Isaacs, owner and CEO, is considering refining the company's costing system by using departmental overhead rates. Currently, the Machining Department incurs $870,000 of manufacturing overhead while the Finishing Department incurs $420,000 of manufacturing overhead. Isaacs has identified machine hours (MH) as the primary manufacturing overhead cost driver in the Machining Department and direct labor (DL) hours as the primary cost driver in the Finishing Department.

(Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar.) Requirements = Plantwide overhead rate 1. Compute the plantwide overhead rate assuming that Harrison's expects to incur 30,000 total DL hours during the year. 2. Compute departmental overhead rates assuming that Harrison's expects to incur 14,500 MH in the Machining Department and 17,500 DL hours in the Finishing Department during the year. 3. If Harrison's continues to use the plantwide overhead rate, how much manufacturing overhead would be allocated to Job 450 and Job 455? 4. If Harrison's uses departmental overhead rates, how much manufacturing overhead would be allocated to Job 450 and Job 455? 5. Based on your answers to Requirements 3 and 4, does the plantwide overhead rate overcost or undercost either job? Explain. If Harrison's sells its furniture at 125% of cost, will its choice of allocation systems affect product pricing? Explain. Print Done - Clear all Check answer
