Resource Room prints custom training material for corporations. The business was started January 1, 2017. The company uses a nor

mal-costing system. It has two direct-cost pools, materials and labor, and one indirect-cost pool, overhead. Overhead is charged to printing jobs on the basis of direct labor cost. The following information is available for 2017.
Budgeted direct labor costs……………$190,000
Budgeted overhead costs………………$266,000
Costs of actual material used………….$158,000
Actual direct labor costs…………………..$175,000
Actual overhead costs…………………….$247,200

There were two jobs in process on December 31, 2017: Job 11 and Job 12. Costs added to each job as of December 31 are as follows:

Direct Material Direct Labour
Job 11 $4,720 $5,700
Job 12 $5,090 $6,900

Resource Room has no finished-goods inventories because all printing jobs are transferred to cost of goods sold when completed.

Required:
a. Compute the overhead allocation rate.
b. Calculate the balance in ending work in process and cost of goods sold before any adjustments for under- or overallocated overhead.
c. Calculate under- or overallocated overhead.
d. Calculate the ending balances in work in process and cost of goods sold if the under- or overallocated overhead amount is as follows:

i. Written off to cost of goods sold
ii. Prorated using the overhead allocated in 2017 (before proration) in the ending balances of cost of goods sold and work-in-process control accounts

g. Which of the methods in requirement 4 would you choose? Explain.

The standard cost card for a product indicates that one unit of the product requires 8 kilograms of a raw material at $0.80 per
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

Direct material quantity variance= $992 unfavorable

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Standard quantiy= 8kg

Standard cost= $0.8 per kilogram

Production= 870 unit

8,200 kilograms of the raw material was purchased for $6,888.

To calculate the material quantity variance, we need to use the following formula:

Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price

Standard quantity= 870*8= 6,960kg

Direct material quantity variance= (6,960 - 8,200)*0.8

Direct material quantity variance= $992 unfavorable

marin [14]

Answer:

$378,000

Explanation:

average weekly demand 70 per distribution center

average shipment size to each distribution center is 450

average lead time 3 weeks

each distribution center has a 3 week safety stock

pipeline inventory: average lead time x average demand per distribution center x average price of each modem x number of distribution centers = 3 weeks x 70 units x $360 x 5 = $378,000

pipeline inventory in transit = $378,000

The pipeline inventory represents the minimum average that the company needs to have to at least meet the weekly demand for its product.
