Morton Company's budgeted variable manufacturing overhead is $3.00 per direct labor-hour and it's budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead is $375,000 per year
Problem 10A-12 Selection of a Denominator; Overhead Analysis; Standard Cost Card [L010-3, L010-4) Morton Company's budgeted variable manufacturing overhead is $3.00 per direct labor-hour and its budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead is $375,000 per year The company manufactures a single product whose standard direct labor-hours per unit is 3.0 hours. The standard direct labor wage rate is $20 per hour. The standards also allow 4 feet of raw material per unit at a standard cost of $6 per foot. Although normal activity is 60,000 direct labor-hours each year, the company expects to operate at a 50,000-hour level of activity this year Required: 1. Assume that the company chooses 50,000 direct labor-hours as the denominator level of activity. Compute the predetermined overhead rate, breaking it down into variable and fixed cost elements 2. Assume that the company chooses 60,000 direct labor-hours as the denominator level of activity. Compute the predetermined overhead rate, breaking it down into variable and fixed cost elements 3. Complete two standard cost cards as outlined below. 4. Assume that the company actually produces 19,000 units and works 59,000 direct labor-hours during the year. Actual manufacturing overhead costs for the year are Variable manufacturing overhead cost Fixed manufacturing overhead cost Total manufacturing overhead cost 186,200 380,200 566,400 a. Compute the standard direct labor-hours allowed for this year's production. b. Complete the Manufacturing Overhead T-account below. Assume that the company uses 50,000 direct labor-hours (normal activity) as the denominator activity figure in computing predetermined overhead rates, as you have done in (1) above c. Determine the cause of the underapplied or overapplied overhead for the year by computing the variable overhead rate and efficiency variances and the fixed overhead budget and volume variances Req 1 Req 2 Req 3 Req 4A Req 4B Req 4C Assume that the company chooses 50,000 direct labor-hours as the denominator level of activity.
