Agassi Company uses a job order cost system in each of its three manufacturing departments. Manufacturing overhead is applied to

jobs on the basis of direct labor cost in Department D, direct labor hours in Department E, and machine hours in Department K. In establishing the predetermined overhead rates for 2020, the following estimates were made for the year.
Department
D E K
Manufacturing overhead $990,000 $1,750,000 $1,080,000
Direct labor costs $1,237,500 $1,875,000 $675,000
Direct labor hours 150,000 125,000 60,000
Machine hours 600,000 750,000 120,000
During January, the job cost sheets showed the following costs and production data.
Department
D E K
Direct materials used $210,000 $189,000 $117,000
Direct labor costs $180,000 $165,000 $56,250
Manufacturing overhead incurred $148,500 $168,000 $118,500
Direct labor hours 12,000 16,500 5,250
Machine hours 51,000 67,500 10,410
(a) Compute the predetermined overhead rate for each department. (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 12.50 or 12.50%.)
Overhead rate

Answer:

See solution below

Explanation:

• Predetermined overhead rate for Department D

= Estimated Manufacturing overhead / Estimated Direct labor cost

Manufacturing overhead = 990,000

Direct labor cost = 1,237,500

= (990,000/1,237,500) × 100

= 0.8 × 100

= 80%

• Predetermined overhead rate for department E

= Estimated Manufacturing overheads/Estimated Direct labor hours

Manufacturing overheads = 1,750,000

Direct labor hours = 125,000

= 1,750,000/125,000

= $14 per labor hour

• Predetermined overhead rate for department K

= Estimated Manufacturing overheads/Estimated Machine hours

Manufacturing overheads = 1,080,000

Machine hours = 120,000

= 1,080,000/120,000

= $9 per machine hour

A firm's average cost increases as it increases its output by expanding its plant and hiring additional workers (its only inputs
KiRa [710]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": incorrect because all inputs are varied in the example.

Explanation:

The law of Diminishing Marginal Productivity states that increasing one variable will keep the others the same. My initially increase output but eventually adding more of that one variable may lead to a diminishing rate of return. The law helps explain why increasing production is not always the best way to increase profits.

The law of Diminishing Marginal Productivity only applies when certain inputs are fixed, but in this example, the amount of labor available varies since it is increasing.

Carlson Company uses a predetermined rate to apply overhead. At the beginning of the year, Carlson estimated its overhead costs
____ [38]

Answer:

The estimated rate based on labour hour==6

The  actual rate based on labour hour=6.08

The rate based on machine hour=24

The rate based on machine hour= 22.66

Explanation:

Given that Carlson estimated its overhead costs to be $240,000,direct labor hours at 40,000 and machine hours at 10,000 as well as the actual overhead costs incurred of  $249,280, actual direct labor hours of  41,000, and actual machine hours of 11,000.We can calculate the to apply .

The estimated rate based on labour hour=240000/40000=6

The  actual rate based on labour hour=249280/41000=6.08

The rate based on machine hour=240000/10000=24

The rate based on machine hour=249280/11000=22.66
