Mitchell’s Softball Gloves Company estimated the following at the beginning of the year:

	Assembly Department	Testing Department	Total
Overhead	$570,000	$130,000	$700,000
Direct Labor Hours	142,500	32,500	175,000
Machine Hours	32,000	65,000	97,000

Mitchell uses departmental overhead rates. In the assembly department, direct labor hours are used to apply overhead. Machine hours are used to apply overhead in the testing department.

Actual data for August is as follows:

	Assembly Department	Testing Department	Total
Overhead	$42,000	$12,000	$54,000
Direct Labor Hours	13,500	2,430	15,930
Machine Hours	4,020	11,000	15,020

Refer to Figure 5-3. If Mitchell uses a plantwide overhead rate based on direct labor hours, instead of departmental rates, what is the predetermined overhead rate rounded to the nearest cent?

a.	$5 per direct labor hour
b.	$7.22 per machine hour
c.	$4 per direct labor hour
d.	$2.57 per direct labor hour
e.	$.52 per direct labor hour

a.	Applied overhead for the assembly department is $54,000.
b.	Applied overhead for the testing department is $4,860.
c.	Applied overhead for both departments combined is $63,720.
d.	Overhead for the assembly department is underapplied.
e.	none of these are correct.

ANS: A

Assembly applied overhead = $4 per direct labor hour ´ 13,500 direct labor hours = $54,000

Testing applied overhead = $2 per machine hour ´ 11,000 = $22,000

Combined applied overhead = $54,000 + $22,000 = $76,000

Overhead for the assembly department is overapplied ($54,000 applied – $42,000 actual)

PROBLEM

McElligott Doll Company had the following overhead costs and production for two months. The dolls are identical to each other.

	September	January
Actual overhead	$12,000	$12,000
Number of dolls	3,000	2,000

A.	What is the overhead cost per doll per month?
B.	What type of costing is McElligott using? What is the main issue with using this type of costing?

ANS:

A.	For September the unit overhead cost per doll is $4 (12,000/3,000). For January the unit overhead cost per doll is $6 (12,000/2,000).

B.	The type of costing being used here is Actual Costing. The problem with assigning actual overhead to units is that the number of units produced per month varies. This makes the costs of the dolls different because of the different number of units produced. The doll produced in January will be more expensive because of this.

Feline Company uses a normal job-order costing system. Currently, a plantwide overhead rate based on direct labor is used. Lola Katz, the plant manager, has heard that departmental overhead rates can offer significantly better cost assignments than a plantwide rate can offer. Some jobs spend most of their time in Department A, while others spend most of their time in Department B. Feline has the following data for its two departments for the coming year:

	Department A	Department B
Expected overhead cost	$75,000	$33,000
Expected direct labor hours	30,000	24,000

A.	Compute the plantwide overhead rate.
B.	Compute the departmental overhead rates. (Carry out your answers to 3 decimal places.)
C.	Which overhead rate would you recommend and why?

ANS:

A.	$108,000/54,000 = $2 per direct labor hour

B.	Dept. A = $75,000/30,000 = $2.50 per direct labor hour
	Dept. B = $33,000/24,000 = $1.375 per direct labor hour

C.	The departmental rate would provide more accuracy. Department A appears to be more overhead intensive, so jobs spending more time in Department A ought to receive more overhead.

Bower Company manufactures a product in a factory that has two producing departments, Cutting and Stitching, and two support departments, D1 and D2. The activity driver for D1 is number of employees, and the activity driver for D2 is number of machine hours. The following data pertain to Bower:

	Support Departments		Producing Departments
	D1	D2	Cutting	Stitching
Direct costs	$210,000	$165,000	$130,000	$78,500
Normal activity:
Number of employees	–	40	80	170
Machine hours	800	–	15,000	5,000

Required:

Calculate the cost assignment ratios to be used under the direct method for departments D1 and D2.

Allocate the support department costs to the producing departments by using the direct method.

ANS:

Allocation ratios for D1 based on number of employees:

Cutting = 80/250 = 0.32

Stitching = 170/250 = 0.68

Allocation ratios for D2 based on number of machine hours:

Cutting = 15,000/20,000 = 0.75

Stitching = 5,000/20,000 = 0.25

	Support Departments		Producing Departments
	D1	D2	Cutting	Stitching
Direct costs $210,000		$165,000	$130,000	$78,500
Allocate
D1	(210,000.00)	–	67,200	142,800
D2	–	(165,000.00)	123,750	41,250

ESSAY

There are two major types of companies: those that use a job-order costing system and those that use process-costing systems.

A.	Explain the differences between the two types of companies.
B.	List 3 examples of each type of company.

ANS:

A.	Manufacturing and service firms producing unique products or services require a job-order accounting system. The cost of one job differs from that of another job and must be kept separate. Firms producing very similar products or services can use a process-costing system. The cost of one unit is identical to the cost of another unit.

B.	Common job-order businesses include: printing, construction, furniture making, medical and dental services, automobile repair, and beautician services.
	Common process manufacturers include: food canning and manufacturing, cement, petroleum, and pharmaceutical and chemical firms.

Consider two costing systems, normal costing and actual costing.

A.	Which costing system do most firms use to assign costs to units of product or service? What does this costing system include?
B.	What is the other costing system? What does this costing system include?

ANS:

A.	Most firms use normal costing systems to assign costs to units of product or service. This system includes actual direct materials, actual direct labor, and applied overhead.

B.	The other costing system is the actual costing system. It includes actual direct materials, actual direct labor, and actual overhead.

You Decide

You are the senior cost accountant at Adventure Industries and you have been asked to explain to the new staff accountant how the company keeps track of job costs through source documents. Also you need to inform the staff accountant how these source documents are important in determining inventory, expense and revenue amounts at the end of the period.

ANS:

Since the company produces a wide variety of products that are distinct from each other, every time a new job is started a job-order cost sheet needs to be prepared. The job-order cost sheet lists the total cost of materials, labor and overhead for a single job. In order to track the cost of direct materials for each job a source document known as a materials requisition form is used. On this form the type, quantity and unit price of the direct materials issued is listed as well as the job order number. The source document used to track direct labor is a time ticket. On the time ticket the employee indicates the amount of time worked on a particular job as well as his or her wage rate. Other source documents may be needed if overhead is being applied based on an activity other than direct labor hours to ensure the proper amount of overhead is being applied to each job.

These source documents are the basis used by the company to determine their work-in-process and finished goods inventory balances. Work-in-process inventory will consist of all the job-order cost sheets for the unfinished jobs. Finished inventory will be comprised of all job-order cost sheets that have been completed but not yet sold. Job-order cost sheets are also used to determine the companies cost of goods sold when the company actually sells the products related to a particular job order. Many times company’s will set the price of a particular job to total cost plus a percentage above cost. Therefore job-order cost sheets are extremely important when determining the sales price for the job. If the costs were not accurately tracked then the company could be over charging or under charging the customer.
