Question

The company XOXO is specialized in producing treadmills. The company allocates manufacturing overhead based on direct labor hours. XOXO estimated a total of $4,600 of manufacturing overhead that can be dispatched on all jobs. Moreover, the total direct labor hours that has been recorder during the period raises up to 460 hours. Job 12 consists of 30 sets of treadmills. The company’s records show that the following direct costs were requisitioned for Job 12: • Electronic parts: 40 units at $20 per unit • Plastic: 10 kilograms at $10 per kilogram • Labor hours: 60 hours at $25 per hour Requirement: 1. Calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead (MOH) rate. 2. Analyze the cost per set (draw a table).

Answer 1

Answer:

XOXO

1. Predetermined Manufacturing Overhead (MOH) rate = estimated overhead divided by total direct labor = $4,600/460  = $10 per direct labor

2. Analysis of cost per set for Job 12:

Raw materials:

Electronic parts: 40 units at $20 per unit  = $800

Plastic: 10 kilograms at $10 per kilogram        100

Labor hours: 60 hours at $25 per hour      1,500

Manufacturing overhead applied $10 per    600

 labor hour

Total Cost                                                 $3,000

Divided by 30 sets = $100 per set

Explanation:

The manufacturing overhead rate is the rate at which overhead will be charged to the jobs completed as part of the cost of production.  As an estimate, it can be overapplied or underapplied.
