Question

Kevin's Company uses a normal costing system, applying overhead using a single plant-wide rate. At the beginning of the year, budgeted (estimated) manufacturing overhead costs totaled $400,000, budgeted direct labor hours totaled 80,000 hours and budgeted machine hours totaled 20,000 hours. At the end of the year, the actual overhead costs recorded totaled $450,000 and actual direct labor hours were 86,000. Kevin's Company's production process is very labor-intensive and therefore uses direct labor hours as the activity base. With this information, what is the assigned (applied) amount of MOH that Sherfield Company assign to production

Answer 1

Answer:

$430,000

Explanation:

MOH recovery rate = Estimated MOH / Estimated direct labor hours

MOH recovery rate = $400,000 / 80,000 hours

MOH recovery rate = $5 per direct labor hours

So, the applied amount of manufacturing overhead rate is $5

Assigned amount of MOH = MOH recovery rate * Actual direct labor hours

Assigned amount of MOH = $5 * 86,000 DLH

Assigned amount of MOH = $430,000
