Direct Method, Reciprocal Method, Overhead Rates Macalister Corporation is developing departmental overhead rates based on direc

t labor hours for its two production departments—Molding and Assembly. The Molding Department employs 19 people, and the Assembly Department employs 77 people. Each person in these two departments works 2,180 hours per year. The production-related overhead costs for the Molding Department are budgeted at $196,000, and the Assembly Department costs are budgeted at $81,000. Two support departments—Engineering and General Factory—directly support the two production departments and have budgeted costs of $204,000 and $411,000, respectively. The production departments’ overhead rates cannot be determined until the support departments’ costs are properly allocated. The following schedule reflects the use of the Engineering Department’s and General Factory Department’s output by the various departments. Engineering General Factory Molding Assembly Engineering hours — 1,900 2,100 7,900 Square feet 116,340 — 365,640 72,020 For all requirements, round allocation ratios to four significant digits and round allocated costs to the nearest dollar. Required: 1. Calculate the overhead rates per direct labor hour for the Molding Department and the Assembly Department using the direct allocation method to charge the production departments for support department costs. Round final answers to the nearest cent. Overhead rate per DLH Molding $ 14.06 Assembly $

bija089 [108]

Answer: b. Quality problem occurs

• c. It tends to decrease with the growing degree of division of labor

Explanation:

From the scenario on the question, the most likely thing to result is for quality problems to occur. Quality simply has to do with the extent to which a particular product satisfies already specified requirements.

Based on the scenarios such as the worker at the bottleneck station being replaced by another worker who works more slowly than the original worker, the quality will be affected.

Division of labor is when task are being delegated in a workplace so that efficiency can be improved. When there is a rise in the division of labor, learning is affected as there'll be a decrease as division of labor increases. This is because everyone has his or her role to play rather than learning more about other departments or roles, the worker will be typically focused on one role.

To Credit Allowance for Bad & Doubtful  A/c    $9,000

(Being the Bad debt A/c is recorded)

The computation for bad debts are given below:

 Bad debts = Uncollectible Amount - Credit balance in Allowance for doubtful A/c

Where,

Uncollectible Amount = $12,000

Credit balance in Allowance for doubtful A/c = $3,000

By putting the value we get,

= $12,000 - $3,000

= $9,000
