Multiple Versus Single Overhead Rates, Activity Drivers Deoro Company has identified the following overhead activities, costs, a

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

Deoro Company

1. Unit cost using direct labor hours to apply overhead:

Unit Cost

Model A $167.985

Model B $226.99

2. Unit cost using the four activity drivers:

Unit Cost

Model A $133.97

Model B $287.28

3. Activity-based costing method always produces the more accurate cost assignment.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Activity Expected Cost Activity Driver Activity Capacity

Setting up equipment $548,080 Number of setups 680

Ordering costs 313,200 Number of orders 17,400

Machine costs 939,400 Machine hours 42,700

Receiving 343,000 Receiving hours 9,800

Total overhead costs $2,142,680

Activity Rates:

Setting up equipment $806 per setup ($548,080/680)

Ordering costs $18 per order ($313,200/17,400)

Machine costs $22 per machine hour ($939,400/42,700)

Receiving $35 per receiving hour ($343,000/9,800)

Model A Model B

Direct materials $600,000 $800,000

Direct labor $480,000 $480,000

Overhead applied $1,063,500 $1,018,200

Total costs $2,143,500 $2,298,200

Units completed 16,000 8,000

Cost per unit $133.97 $287.275

Direct labor hours 6,000 2,000

Number of setups 400 200

Number of orders 6,000 12,000

Machine hours 24,000 18,000

Receiving hours 3,000 7,000

The company's normal activity is 8,000 direct labor hours.

Assignment of overhead costs:

Model A Model B

Number of setups $322,500 (400 * $806) $161,200 (200 * $806)

Number of orders 108,000 (6,000 * $18) 216,000 (12,000 * $18)

Machine hours 528,000 (24,000 * $22) 396,000 (18,000 * $22)

Receiving hours 105,000 (3,000 * $35) 245,000 (7,000 * $35)

Total overhead applied $1,063,500 $1,018,200

Overhead based on direct labor hours:

Total overhead costs = $2,143,680

Total direct labor hours = 8,000 (6,000 + 2,000)

Overhead rate per DLH = $267.96

Allocation of overhead:

Model A Model B

Direct labor hours 6,000 2,000

Overhead (DLH) $1,607,760 ($267.96 *6,000) $535,920 ($267.96 * 2,000)

Model A Model B

Direct materials $600,000 $800,000

Direct labor $480,000 $480,000

Overhead applied $1,607,760 $535,920

Total costs $2,687,760 $1,815,920

Units completed 16,000 8,000

Cost per unit $167.985 $226.99

Jane works in the maintenance department, which supports the production department and the research department. Jane's wages are

valina [46]

<h2>Direct to the maintenance department</h2>

Explanation:

Jane here works only in the Maintenance department. The work that he does supports both Production as well as Research. We can calculate the expenses, only by associating the department of the employee.

So, the wages should be directly associated to the maintenance department only.

We cannot add one cost to multiple department and it is not the right approach of accounting system. So the below becomes invalid.

<em>Indirect to the production department Direct to the research department Direct to the production department Indirect to the research department</em>

Dakota Products uses a job-costing system with two direct-cost categories (direct materials and direct manufacturing labor) and

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

1.Overhead Rate = Overhead Costs/ Direct Labor Costs

Budget Overhead Rate = 3060,000/ 1700,000= 1.8

Actual Overhead Rate = 3217,500/ 1650,000= 1.895

Dakota Products

Budget for 2017 Actual Results for 2017

Direct material costs $2,250,000 $2,150,000

Direct manufacturing labor costs 1,700,000 1,650,000

Manufacturing overhead costs 3,060,000 3,217,500

2.During March, the job-cost record for Job 626

Direct materials used $55,000

Direct manufacturing labor costs $45,000

Actual Overhead = 1.895 * $45,000= $ 85295.45

Normal Overhead = 1.8 * 45,000= $ 81,000

2.The actual cost of Job 626 =$ 55,000+ $ 45,000+ $ 85295.45= $ 185,295.45

2.The normal cost of Job 626 =$ 55,000+ $ 45,000+ $ 81,000= $181,000

3. Under- or Overallocated Overhead under normal costing=

Budgeted Overhead - Actual Overhead= 3,060,000 - 3,217,500=

157,500 underapplied

There is no under- or overallocated overhead under actual costing because overhead costs actually are at their actual costs. There is no difference between calculated and actual.

4. Normal Costing would give an idea before 2017 and it is easier to make decision prior to changes. Actual results can only be obtained after the process. Managers find it easier to pre plan . So normal costing is adoptable.

Market Corporation owns 100% of Subsidiary Corporation's stock. Market Corporation completely liquidates Subsidiary Corporati

ella [17]

Answer:

c. $500,000.

Explanation:

Market Corporation has a basis in the land of $500,000.

We are told in the question that ''Market Corporation completely liquidates Subsidiary Corporation, receiving land with a $400,000 adjusted basis and a $500,000 Fair Market Value''

In the event of liquidation the value of an asset is no longer its carrying amount or book value but rather the amount at which the asset can be disposed which is the fair market value.
