Question
9. Choice ((You must choose 6 questions from among #’s 5-13 to answer):
(A) Explain in detail how a single, plant-wide factory overhead allocation rate is established
(i.e.. what is the formula?).
Pate Company uses a job order cost accounting system. The company's management
estimated that they would incur 250.000 hours of direct labor hours at a cost of $12.00 per
hour, totaling $3,000,000; they also estimate that total factory overhead costs would be
$1,500,000 for the current period. At the end of the period, the records show that the actual
number of direct labor hours amounted to 248.000. The records also showed that actual (not
the allocated amount) overhead costs amounted to $1,520,000.
(B) Using the preceding example, calculate the pre-determined factory overhead
allocation rate that was used, assuming that direct labor hours were used as the base.
(C) Did Pate Company OVER-allocate or UNDER-allocate factory overhead for the period?
