The Thomlin Company forecasts that total overhead for the current year will be $15,000,000 with 300,000 total machine hours. Year to date, the actual overhead is $16,000,000 and the actual machine hours are 330,000 hours. If the Thomlin Company uses a predetermined overhead rate based on machine hours for applying overhead, as of this point in time (year to date), the overhead is
1. $1,000,000 overapplied
2. $1,000,000 underapplied
3. $500,000 overapplied
4. $500,000 underapplied

ANSWER: c

RATIONALE: Predetermined Overhead Rate = Estimated Total Overhead Costs / Estimated

Activity Base = $15,000,000 / 300,000 machine hours = $50 per machine hour

Applied overhead = Predetermined overhead rate × Actual machine hours = $50

× 330,000 machine hours = $16,500,000

Overapplied overhead = Applied overhead – Actual overhead = $16,500,000 –

$16,000,000 = $500,000

At the end of the year, overhead applied was $42,000,000. Actual overhead was $40,300,000. Closing over/underapplied overhead into Cost of Goods Sold would cause net income to
1. increase by $1,700,000
2. decrease by $1,700,000
3. increase by $3,400,000
4. decrease by $3,400,000

ANSWER: a

RATIONALE: Net income will increase since overheads have been overapplied.

Increase in net income = Applied overhead – Actual overhead = $42,000,000 –

$40,300,000 = $1,700,000

The Cavy Company estimates that the factory overhead for the following year will be $1,250,000. The company has decided that the basis for applying factory overhead should be machine hours, which is estimated to be 40,000 hours.

2. $35,220 underapplied
3. $7,575 overapplied

ANSWER: c

RATIONALE: Predetermined Overhead Rate = Estimated Total Factory Overhead Costs /

Applied factory overhead costs = Predetermined overhead rate × Actual machine

Define and discuss the two main types of cost accounting systems for manufacturing operations. What are their similarities and differences?

ANSWER: The two main types of cost accounting systems are job order cost systems and

process cost systems.

A job order cost system provides product costs for each quantity of product that

is manufactured. Each quantity of product that is produced is called a job. This

type of system is used by companies that manufacture custom products or

batches of similar products.

A process cost system provides product costs for each manufacturing department

or process. Process cost systems are used by companies that manufacture

products that are indistinguishable from each other and manufactured using a

continuous process.

They are similar in that both systems are widely used and a company may use

both—job order for some products and process costing for others.

Materials $ 80,000
Finished goods 190,000
Work in process 70,000
Cost of goods sold 1,000,000

Factory overhead 30,000

(a) The factory overhead balance is relatively small; prepare the journal entry to close the Factory Overhead

account assuming a debit balance. What does a debit balance mean?

(b) The factory overhead balance is relatively small; prepare the journal entry to close the Factory Overhead

account assuming a credit balance. What does a credit balance mean?

ANSWER: (a) Cost of Goods Sold 30,000

Factory Overhead 30,000

A debit balance indicates that the factory overhead was underapplied.

(b) Factory Overhead 30,000

Cost of Goods Sold 30,000

A credit balance indicates the factory overhead was overapplied.

Discuss how job order cost information is used in decision making. What are some possible reasons that actual cost of materials would exceed expected costs for a job?

ANSWER: Since a job order cost system provides product costs for each quantity of product

that is manufactured, total and unit product costs can be compared to similar jobs

or expected costs. Thus, a job order cost system can be used by managers for

cost evaluation and control.

Possible reasons that actual material costs would exceed expected cost

include: poorly trained employees, poor quality materials, faulty equipment, or

incorrect instructions.

Discuss the use of job order costing for professional services businesses. What are the similarities and differences between service and manufacturing business job order costing?

ANSWER: Professional service providers—attorneys, physicians, advertising agencies,

etc.—may use job order cost accounting systems. In such cases, clients are

considered jobs.

Like manufacturers, direct labor and overhead costs for service companies are

accumulated in work in process accounts. Unlike manufacturers, materials cost

for service companies are usually insignificant and treated as overhead. When a

job is completed, it is transferred to Cost of Services, which is similar to Cost of

Goods Sold. Service companies do not use Finished Goods accounts.
