Chapter 11, Problem 11.14SE
Record
During the week, the Spartan Restaurant Group’s French fry manufacturing facility incurred 1,500 hours of direct labor. Direct laborers were paid $12.20 per hour. The standard hourly labor rate is $11.80. Standards indicate that for the volume of output actually achieved, the factory should have used 2,200 hours.
Requirements
- 1. Record the labor transactions using a standard cost accounting system.
- 2. Are the variances favorable or unfavorable? Explain.

In Class Assignment 1
AlSaleh has assigned overhead on a plantwide basis to its two products (Tables and Chairs) using
direct labor hours which are estimated to be 200,000 for the current year. The company has decided
to experiment with activity-based costing and has created two activity cost pools and related
activity cost drivers. These two cost pools are Ordering and receiving (cost driver is Purchase
orders) and machine setup (cost driver is number of setups). Overhead allocated to the ordering
and receiving cost pool is $200,000, and $800,000 is allocated to the machine setup cost pool.
Additional information related to these pools is as follows:
Cost Drivers
Tables
Chairs
Purchase orders

10,000
number of setups

a. Determine the amount of overhead assigned to the table product line and the chairs product
line using activity-based costing.
b. What amount of overhead would be assigned to the tables and chairs product lines using
the traditional approach,…
I have the following information: direct materials $250 and total manufacturing cost $700. Overhead applied to jobs at a rate of 200% of direct labor cost. This is for Chapter 2 job costing in managerial accounting. I am supposed to figure out conversion cost, direct labor cost, and manufacturing overhead.
I know the formula for conversion cost= direct labor + manufacturing OH
Prime cost= direct labor + direct materials
How do I figure out direct labor cost with the given information? The learning objective states calcualte predetermined overhead rate, but I do not have estimated manufacturing cost and estimated labor. Can you please help?
Thanks,
Erica Gordon
