- Prepare an income statement following the example in Exhibit 3B—1 that records the cost of unused capacity on the income statement as a period expense.
- Why do unused capacity costs arise when the predetermined overhead rate is based on capacity?
1.
Introduction: Job costing is a technique of determine the cost of a manufacturing job rather than the process of the job. Manufacturing overhead is applied to product or job order is determined as predetermined overhead. Absorption costing is used to calculate the cost of product while taking indirect and direct expense into account. Activity based costing assign the cost of all the activity of the organization according to their actual consumption
To prepare: The income statement that record the cost of unused capacity.
Answer to Problem 3B.1E
Income statement given shown below:
Explanation of Solution
Cost of goods manufactured and under applied overhead
Particular | Amount $ |
Direct material | 5,350 |
Direct labor | 8,860 |
Manufacturing overhead applied | 12,300 |
Total manufacturing cost charged to jobs | 26,510 |
Add: Beginning work in process inventory | 0 |
26,510 | |
Deduct: Ending work in process inventory | 0 |
Cost of goods manufactured | 26,510 |
The manufacturing overhead incurred was $14200 and the applied manufacturing overhead was $12,300. Thus, under applied overhead is:
Income statement:
Particular | Amount $ | Amount $ |
Sales | 43,740 | |
Cost of goods | 26,510 | |
Gross margin | 17,230 | |
Under applied manufacturing overhead | 1920 | |
Selling and manufacturing expense | 8180 | 10,100 |
Net operating income | 7,130 |

The reason for unused capacity cost arises when the predetermined overhead rate is based on capacity.
Answer to Problem 3B.1E
Manufacturing overhead typically includes a significant amount of fixed cost that results in overhead being under applied when the predetermined overhead rate is based on capacity.
Explanation of Solution
Manufacturing overhead typically includes a significant amount of fixed cost that results in overhead being under applied when the predetermined overhead rate is based on capacity. If the plant never operates at full capacity, an amount less than the total fixed cost will actually be applied to each job. However, since fixed costs remain fixed the amount overhead applied to each job will typically be underapplied.

The company expects to manufacture 20,000 units of Gas smokers, which have a per-unit direct material cost of $15 and a per-unit direct labor cost of $25. k also expects to manufacture 50,000 units of Electric smokers, which have a per-unit material cost of $20 and a per-unit direct labor cost of $45. Historically, it has used the traditional allocation method and applied overhead at a rate of $125 per machine hour. It was determined that there were three cost pools, and the overhead for each cost pool is as follows: The cost driver for each cost pool and its expected activity is as follows: A. What is the per-unit cost for each product under the traditional allocation method? B. What is the per-unit cost for each product under ABC costing? C. Compared to ABC costing, was each products overhead under- or over applied? D. How much was overhead under- or over applied for each product?arrow_forwardCarltons Kitchens makes two types of pasta makers: Strands and Shapes.
