Chapter 2, Problem 16P
PROBLEM 2—16 Plantwide Predetermined
Landen Corporation uses a job-order costing system. At the beginning of the year, the company made the following estimates:
| Direct labor-hours required to support estimated production | 140,000 |
| Machine-hours required to support estimated production | 70,000 |
| Fixed manufacturing overhead cost | $784,000 |
| Variable manufacturing overhead cost per direct labor-hour | $2.00 |
| Variable manufacturing overhead cost per machine-hour | $4.00 |
During the year, Job 550 was started and completed. The following information is available with respect to this job:
| Direct materials | $175 |
| Direct labor cost | $225 |
| Direct labor-hours | 15 |
| Machine-hours | 5 |
Required:
- Assume that Landen has historically used a plantwide predetermined overhead rate with direct labor-hours as the allocation base. Under this approach:
- Compute the planide predetermined overhead rate.
- Compute the total
manufacturing cost of Job 550. - If Landen uses a markup percentage of 200% of its total manufacturing cost, what selling price would it establish for Job 550?
- Assume that Landen’s controller believes that machine-hours is a better allocation base than direct labor-hours. Under this approach:
- Compute the planPide predetermined overhead rate.
- Compute the total manufacturing cost of Job 550.
- If Landen uses a markup percentage of 200% of its total manufacturing cost, what selling price would it establish for Job 550?
- Assume that Landen’s controller is right about machine-hours being a more accurate overhead cost allocation base than direct labor-hours. If the company continues to use direct labor-hours as its only overhead cost allocation base what implications does this have for pricing jobs such as Job 550?

He collected the following data on the number of direct labor hours and associated factory overhead cost for the months of January through August. Required: 1. Using a computer spreadsheet program such as Excel, run a regression on these data. Print out your results. 2. Using your results from Requirement 1, write the cost formula for overhead cost.

- Factory overhead rate Fabricator Inc., a specialized equipment manufacturer, uses a job order cost system. The overhead is allocated to jobs on the basis of direct labor hours. The overhead rate is now $3,000 per direct labor hour. The design engineer thinks that this is illogical. The design engineer has stated the following: Our accounting system doesn't make any sense to me. It tells me that every labor hour carries an additional burden of $3,000. This means that while direct labor makes up only 5% of our total product cost, it drives all our costs. In addition, these rates give my design engineers incentives to "design out" direct labor by using machine technology. Yet, over the past years as we have had less and less direct labor, the overhead rate keeps going up and up. I won't be surprised if next year the rate is $4,000 per direct labor hour. I'm also concerned because small errors in our estimates of the direct labor content can have a large impact on our estimated costs. Just a 30~minute error in our estimate of assembly time is worth $ 1,500. Small mistakes in our direct labor time estimates really swing our bids around. I think this puts us at a disadvantage when we are going after business.
