E19-15 Computing and using single plantwide overhead allocation rate
Learning Objective 1
Basic $322,000
Koehler makes handheld calculators in two models: basic and professional.
Koehler estimated $721,000 of manufacturing overhead and 515,000 machine
hours for the year. The basic model actually consumed 230,000 machine hours,
and the professional model consumed 285,000 machine hours.
Compute the predetermined overhead allocation rate using machine hours
(MHr) as the allocation base. How much overhead is allocated to the basic
model? To the professional model?
Compute departmental overhead rates (Learning Objective 1)54-4Snyder Snacks makes potato chips, corn chips, and cheese puffs using three different pro- duction lines within the same manufacturing plant . Currently, Snyder uses a single plant- wide overhead rate to allocate its $3,311,500 of annual manufacturing overhead . Of this amount, $2,070,000 is associated with the potato chip line, $763,000 is associated with the corn chip line, and $478,500 is associated with the cheese puff line. Snyder's plant is currently running a total of 17,900 machine hours: 11,500 in the potato chip line, 3,500 in the corn chip line, and 2,900 in the cheese puff line. Snyder considers machine hours to be the cost driver of manufacturing overhead costs .1. What is Snyder's plantwide overhead rate?2. Calculate the departmental overhead rates for Snyder's three production lines. Roundall answers to the nearest cent .3. Which products have been overcosted by the plantwide rate?

- 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 Gordonarrow_forwardE4-23A Use ABC to allocate manufacturing overhead (Learning Objective 2) Several years after reengineering its production process, Biltmore Corporation hired a new controller, Rachael Johnson. She developed an ABC system very similar to the one used by Biltmore’s chief rival, Westriver. Part of the reason Johnson developed the ABC system was because Biltmore’s profits had been declining even though the company had shifted its product mix toward the product that had appeared most profitable under the old system. Before adopting the new ABC system, Biltmore had used a plantwide overhead rate based on direct labor hours that was developed years ago. For the upcoming year, Biltmore’s budgeted ABC manufacturing overhead allocation rates are as follows: Activity Allocation Base Activity Cost Allocation Rate Materials handling # of parts $3.84 per part Machine setup # of setups $330.00 per setup Insertion of parts # of parts $30.00 per part Finishing Finishing DL hrs $54.00 per hour The…arrow_forwardActivity-Based Costing, Lean Operations, and the Costs of Quality E4-24A Compare traditional and ABC allocations on a job (Learning Objective 2) Radley Products has adopted an ABC costing system.
