Underwood is eager to impress his new employer, and he knows that in 2017. Anderson’s upper management is under pressure to show a profit in a challenging competitive environment because they are hoping to be acquired by a large private equity firm sometime in 2018. At the end of 2016, Underwood decides to adjust the manufacturing overhead rate to 160% of direct labor cost. He explains to the company president that, because overhead was underallocated in 2016, this adjustment is necessary. Cost information for 2017 follows:
Direct materials control, 1/1/2017 | 25,000 |
Direct materials purchased, 2017 | 650,000 |
Direct materials added to production, 2017 | 630,000 |
Work in process control, 1/1/2017 | 280,000 |
Direct manufacturing labor, 2017 | 880,000 |
Cost of goods manufactured, 2017 | 2,900,000 |
Finished goods control, 1/1/2017 | 320,000 |
Finished goods control, 12/31/2017 | 290,000 |
Manufacturing overhead costs, 2017 | 1,300,000 |
Anderson’s revenue for 2017 was $5,550,000, and the company’s selling and administrative expenses were $2,720,000.
- 1. Insert the given information in the T-accounts below. Calculate the following amounts to complete the T-accounts:
Required
- a. Direct materials control, 12/31/2017
- b. Manufacturing overhead allocated, 2017
- c. Cost of goods sold, 2017
- 2. Calculate the amount of under- or overallocated manufacturing overhead.
- 3. Calculate Anderson’s net operating income under the following:
- a. Under- or overallocated manufacturing overhead is written off to cost of goods sold.
- b. Under- or overallocated manufacturing overhead is prorated based on the ending balances in work in process, finished goods, and cost of goods sold.
- 4. Underwood chooses option 3a above, stating that the amount is immaterial. Comment on the ethical implications of his choice. Do you think that there were any ethical issues when he established the manufacturing overhead rate for 2017 back in late 2016? Refer to the IMA Statement of Ethical Professional Practice.

- Rulers 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.

It prices each job on a cost plus 20% basis. Overhead costs in 2017 are $8,100,000. DLN’s simple costing system allocates overhead costs to its jobs based on number of jobs. There were three jobs in 2017. One customer, Chandler, has complained that the cost and price of its building in Chicago was not competitive. As a result, the controller has initiated a detailed review of the overhead allocation to determine if overhead costs should be charged to jobs in proportion to consumption of overhead resources by jobs. She gathers the following information:arrow_forwardKeezel Company uses normal costing in its job-costing system.

In 2017, actual manufacturing overhead is $316,000. PW's simple costing system allocates manufacturing overhead to its three customers based on machine-hours and prices its contracts based on full costs. One of its customers has regularly complained of being charged noncompetitive prices, so PW's controller Duncan Johnson realizes that it is time to examine the consumption of overhead resources more closely. He knows that there are three main departments that consume overhead resources: design, production, and engineering. Interviews with the department personnel and examination of time records yield the following detailed information: (Click the icon to view the information.) Read the requirements. Requirement 1.
