Nonmanufacturing cost
administrative cost advertising cost also known as period cost.
The direct materials required to manufacture each unit of product are listed on a ________.
bill of materials
In the cost formula (Y = a + bX) that is used to estimate the total manufacturing overhead cost for a given period, the letter “a” refers to the estimated ________.
total fixed manufacturing overhead cost
predetermined overhead rate =
Estimated total manufacturing overhead cost / estimated total amount of the allocation base.
Predetermined overhead rates
- Depreciation - Utilities - Indirect labor. - Indirect materials.
Allocation base
-Direct labor - hours - Direct labor cost - machine hours - Units of product. - manufacturing overhead cost.
Predetermined overhead rates 4 steps :
Step 1: Estimate the total amount of the allocation base (the denominator) Step 2: Estimate the total fixed manufacturing overhead cost for the coming period and the variable manufacturing overhead cost per unit of the allocation base. Step 3: Use the cost formula (Y = a + bX) to estimate the total manufacturing overhead cost for the coming period. (the numerator) Step 4: Compute the predetermined overhead rate by diving the numerator by the monitor.
(Y = a + bX)
Y = estimated total manufacturing overhead cost. a = estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead cost. b = estimated Variable manufacturing overhead cost per unit of allocation base. X= Estimated Total amount of allocation base.
The management of Blue Ocean Company estimates that 50,000 machine-hours will be required to support the production planned for the year. It also estimates $300,000 of total fixed manufacturing overhead cost for the coming year and $4 of variable manufacturing overhead cost per machine-hour. What is the predetermined overhead rate?
$10.00 per machine hour. (Y = a + bX) a= $300,000 b= $4 X = 50,000 Y= 300,000 + 4(50,000) = 500,000 Estimated total manufacturing overhead cost / estimated total amount of the allocation base. 500,000 / 50,000 = 10
Spartan Corporation estimates that it will incur $200,000 of total manufacturing overhead cost at an estimated activity level of 10,000 direct labor-hours. What is the amount of manufacturing overhead that would be applied to a job that required 200 direct labor-hours?
$4,000 Predetermined overhead rate = $200,000 ÷ 10,000 DLHs = $20 per DLH For 200 DLHs, the manufacturing overhead that would be applied is = $20 per DLH × 200 DLHs = $4,000
Overhead applied to a particular job =
Predetermined Overhead Rate X Amount of the allocation base incurred by the job.
Overhead cost applied to jobs =
predetermined overhead rate X actual amount of the allocation base incurred by the jobs
A normal cost system applies overhead to jobs ________.
by multiplying a predetermined overhead rate by the actual amount of the allocation base incurred by the job
Wilson Products uses a plantwide predetermined overhead rate of $10 per direct labor-hour. Direct material and direct labor associated with Job X23 are $4,000 and $1,200 respectively. If Job X23 used 100 direct labor-hours, what is the total cost assigned to this job?
$6,200 Total cost associated with the job = Direct material + Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead applied Total cost associated with the job = $4,000 + $1,200 + ($10 × 100 DLHs) = $6,200
Wilson Products uses a plantwide predetermined overhead rate of $10 per direct labor-hour. Direct material and direct labor associated with Job X23 are $4,000 and $1,200 respectively. If Job X23 used 100 direct labor-hours to produce 50 audio controllers, what is this job’s unit product cost (per audio controller)?
$124 total cost assigned / units = unit product cost (per audio controller). 6,200 / 50 = 124
Companies can improve job cost accuracy by using ________.
multiple predetermined overhead rates
What is the estimated total manufacturing overhead in the Assembly Department? Assembly Packaging Direct labor-hours 5,200 62,000 Machine-hours 68,400 11,900 Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 390,000 $ 419,000 Variable manufacturing overhead per DLH $ 3.75 Variable manufacturing overhead per MH $ 3.00
$595,200 Estimated total manufacturing overhead = $390,000 + ($3.00 per DLH × 68,400 MHs) = $595,200
What is the predetermined overhead rate for the Packing Department? Assembly Packaging Direct labor-hours 5,200 62,000 Machine-hours 68,400 11,900 Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 390,000 $ 419,000 Variable manufacturing overhead per DLH $ 3.75 Variable manufacturing overhead per MH $ 3.00
$10.51 per DLH Predetermined overhead rate = $651,500 ÷ 62,000 DLHs = $10.51 per DLH
What is the term used when a company applies less overhead to production than it actually incurs?
Underapplied
The adjustment for overapplied overhead ________.
decreases cost of goods sold and increases net operating income.
When all of a company’s job cost sheets are viewed collectively they form what is known as a ________.
subsidiary ledger
Underapplied or overapplied overhead is the:
difference between overhead applied to work in process and actual overhead.
