Principles of Cost Accounting
- Luna Manufacturing Inc. completed Job 2525 on May 31, and there were no jobs in process in the plant. Prior to June 1, the predetermined overhead application rate for June was computed from the following data, based on an estimate of 5,000 direct labor hours: The factory has one production department and uses the direct labor hour method to apply factory overhead. Three jobs are started during the month, and postings are made daily to the job cost sheets from the materials requisitions and labor-time records. The following schedule shows the jobs and amounts posted to the job cost sheets: The factory overhead control account was debited during the month for actual factory overhead expenses of 27,000. On June 11, Job 2526 was completed and delivered to the customer using a mark-on percentage of 50% on manufacturing cost. On June 24, Job 2527 was completed and transferred to Finished Goods. On June 30, Job 2528 was still in process. Required: 1. Prepare job cost sheets for Jobs 2526, 2527, and 2528, including factory overhead applied when the job was completed or at the end of the month for partially completed jobs. 2. Prepare journal entries as of June 30 for the following: a. Applying factory overhead to production. b. Closing the applied factory overhead account. c. Closing the factory overhead account. d. Transferring the cost of the completed jobs to finished goods. e. Recording the cost of the sale and the sale of Job 2526.arrow_forwardCycle Specialists manufactures goods on a job order basis. During the month of June, three jobs were started in process. (There was no work in process at the beginning of the month.) Jobs Sprinters and Trekkers were completed and sold, on account, during the month (selling prices: Sprinters, 22,000; Trekkers, 27,000); Job Roadsters was still in process at the end of June.

- Abbey Products Company is studying the results of applying factory overhead to production. The following data have been used: estimated factory overhead, 60,000; estimated materials costs, 50,000; estimated direct labor costs, 60,000; estimated direct labor hours, 10,000; estimated machine hours, 20,000; work in process at the beginning of the month, none. The actual factory overhead incurred for November was 80,000, and the production statistics on November 30 are as follows: Required: 1. Compute the predetermined rate, based on the following: a. Direct labor cost b. Direct labor hours c. Machine hours 2. Using each of the methods, compute the estimated total cost of each job at the end of the month. 3. Determine the under-or overapplied factory overhead, in total, at the end of the month under each of the methods. 4. Which method would you recommend? Why?arrow_forwardRulers Company is a neon sign company that estimated overhead will be $60,000, consisting of 1,500 machine hours. The cost to make Job 416 is $95 in neon, 15 hours of labor at $13 per hour, and five machine hours. During the month, it incurs $95 in indirect material cost, $130 in administrative labor, $320 in utilities, and $350 in depreciation expense. What is the predetermined overhead rate if machine hours are considered the cost driver? What is the cost of Job 416? What is the overhead incurred during the month?arrow_forwardBaldwin Printing Company uses a job order cost system and applies overhead based on machine hours. A total of 150,000 machine hours have been budgeted for the year. During the year, an order for 1,000 units was completed and incurred the following: The accountant computed the inventory cost of this order to be 4.30 per unit. The annual budgeted overhead in dollars was: a. 577,500. b. 600,000. c. 645,000. d. 660,000.arrow_forward
- Rockford Company has four departmental accounts: Building Maintenance, General Factory Overhead, Machining, and Assembly. The direct labor hour method is used to apply factory overhead to the jobs being worked on in Machining and Assembly. The company expects each production department to use 30,000 direct labor hours during the year. The estimated overhead rates for the year include the following: During the year, both Machining and Assembly used 28,000 direct labor hours. Factory overhead costs incurred during the year follow: In determining application rates at the beginning of the year, cost allocations were made as follows, using the sequential distribution method: Building Maintenance to: General Factory Overhead, 10%; Machining, 50%; Assembly, 40%. General factory overhead was distributed according to direct labor hours. Required: Determine the under- or overapplied overhead for each production department. (Hint: First you must distribute the service department costs.)arrow_forwardPenny Company manufactures only one product and uses a standard cost system. The following information is from Pennys records for May: During May, the company used 12.5% more hours than the standard allowed. A. What were the total standard hours allowed for the units manufactured during the month? 8. What were the actual hours worked? C. How many actual units were produced during May?arrow_forwardKraus Steel Company has two departments, Casting and Rolling.

- AAA Appliances Inc. has two production departments. The nature of the process is such that no units remain in process in Finishing at the end of the period. At the beginning of the period, 10,000 units with a cost of 30,000 were transferred from Assembly to Finishing. Finishing incurred costs of 8,800 for materials, 7,200 for labor, and 8,800 for factory overhead, and finished 10,000 units during the month. a. Determine the unit cost for the month in Finishing. b. Determine the unit cost of the products transferred to finished goods.arrow_forwardDuring the week of May 10, Hyrum Manufacturing produced and shipped 16,000 units of its aluminum wheels: 4,000 units of Model A and 12,000 units of Model B. The cycle time for Model A is 1.09 hours and for Model B is 0.47 hour. The following costs and production hours were incurred: Required: 1. Assume that the value-stream costs and total units shipped apply only to one model (a single-product value stream). Calculate the unit cost, and comment on its accuracy. 2. Assume that Model A is responsible for 40% of the materials cost. Calculate the unit cost for Models A and B, and comment on its accuracy. Explain the rationale for using units shipped instead of units produced in the calculation. 3. Calculate the unit cost for the two models, using DBC. Explain when and why this cost is more accurate than the unit cost calculated in Requirement 2.arrow_forwardBrees, Inc., a manufacturer of golf carts, has just received an offer from a supplier to provide 2,600 units of a component used in its main product. The component is a track assembly that is currently produced internally. The supplier has offered to sell the track assembly for 66 per unit. Brees is currently using a traditional, unit-based costing system that assigns overhead to jobs on the basis of direct labor hours. The estimated traditional full cost of producing the track assembly is as follows: Prior to making a decision, the companys CEO commissioned a special study to see whether there would be any decrease in the fixed overhead costs. The results of the study revealed the following: 3 setups1,160 each (The setups would be avoided, and total spending could be reduced by 1,160 per setup.) One half-time inspector is needed. The company already uses part-time inspectors hired through a temporary employment agency. The yearly cost of the part-time inspectors for the track assembly operation is 12,300 and could be totally avoided if the part were purchased. Engineering work: 470 hours, 45/hour. (Although the work decreases by 470 hours, the engineer assigned to the track assembly line also spends time on other products, and there would be no reduction in his salary.) 75 fewer material moves at 30 per move. Required: 1. Ignore the special study, and determine whether the track assembly should be produced internally or purchased from the supplier. 2. Now, using the special study data, repeat the analysis. 3. Discuss the qualitative factors that would affect the decision, including strategic implications. 4. After reviewing the special study, the controller made the following remark: This study ignores the additional activity demands that purchasing would cause. For example, although the demand for inspecting the part on the production floor decreases, we may need to inspect the incoming parts in the receiving area. Will we actually save any inspection costs? Is the controller right?arrow_forward
