Question # 1: (Marks -20)
The Grand River Company uses a budgeted overhead rate for applying factory overhead to job orders on a machine hour basis for the Machining Department and on a direct labour hour basis for the Finishing Department. The company estimated the following for 2010:
Departments | Machining | Finishing |
Factory overhead | $ 10,000,000 | $ 8,000,000 |
Machine hours | 200,000 | 33,000 |
Direct labour hours | 30,000 | 160,000 |
Direct labour cost | $ 900,000 | $ 4,000,000 |
Required:
- Calculate the overhead rates to be used in two departments. ( Marks -2)
Machining department: Manufacturing Overhead / Machine Hours
=10000000/200000
= $50(per hour)
Finishing department: Manufacturing Overhead/ Labour cost
=8000000/4000000=200% of direct labour cost
- During the month of January the cost recorded for job order # 400 shows the following:
Departments | Machining | Finishing |
Direct materials requisitioned | $14,000 | $ 3,000 |
Direct labour cost | $ 600 | $ 1250 |
Direct labour hours | 30 | 50 |
Machine hours | 130 | 10 |
Calculate the overhead applied to Job # 400. (Marks 2)
Machining Department Overhead, 50*130= $6500
Finishing Department Overhead, 1250*2= 2500
Total manufacturing Overhead: $9000
- Assuming that job # 400 consists of 200 units of product, what is the unit cost of job # 400?
(Marks-4)
Machining Finishing
Direct Materials $14000 $3000
Direct Labor 600 1250
Overhead Allocated 6500 2500
Total $21100 $6750
Total Costs:21100+6750= $27850
Cost Per Unit:27850/200= $139.25(per unit)
- The actual amount at the end of 2010 for all jobs are as follows :
Departments | Machining | Finishing |
Factory overhead | $ 11,200,000 | $ 7,900,000 |
Direct labour cost | $ 950,000 | $ 4,100,000 |
Machine hours | 220,000 | 32,000 |
Calculate the under/ over applied overhead for each department (indicate whether under or over). (Marks-4)
Machining Department Overhead Allocated (
- Prepare the journal entries for the Machining Department and Finishing Department, assuming that the under/over applied is closed to COGS. ( Marks-4)
- Prepare the journal entry for the Finishing Department, assuming the under/over applied is allocated between the appropriate accounts based on the overhead applied component of each ending balance. The factory overhead applied component of WIP, FG and COGS is as follows:
WIP: $ 1,000,000; FG: $ 1,600,000; COGS: $ 5,400,000 respectively.
