Factory Overhead $380,000 $420,000 $510,000
Direct Labor Cost $480,000 $600,000 $600,000
Direct Labor Hours 40,000 18,000 25,000
Machine Hours 95,000 70,000 35,000
The following actual information is available for January of the current year for each department: first column is dept a then b then c going left to right
Direct Materials Used $31,700 $57,600 $44,600
Direct Labor Cost $28,125 $53,000 $50,400
Factory Overhead $35,640 $36,040 $38,220

Machine Hours Used 8,100 1,440 1,280
REQUIRED:
A. Assume that Gene Simmons Company uses actual costing.
1. Compute the actual overhead rate for January for each department. Dept A Dept B Dept C
2. If one of the units produced in Department A used 650 machine hours, how much overhead cost would be applied to that unit?
3. What two disadvantages are associated with actual costing?
Assume that Gene Simmons Company uses normal costing.
1. How does normal costing "solve" the two problems associated with actual costing?
2. Compute the pre-determined annual overhead rate for the current year for each department. Dept A Dept B Dept C
3. Compute the manufacturing overhead applied in January in each department. Dept A Dept B Dept C
4. Compute under- or over-applied overhead at the end of January in each department. Dept A Over or Under (circle one) Dept B Over or Under (circle one) Dept C Over or Under (circle one)
5. On January 31, how will the balances of the Factory Overhead accounts be reported on the financial statements?
6. On December 31 (the end of the year), how will the balances of the Factory Overhead accounts be reported on the financial statements?

Answer:

<u>Required A</u>

Part 1

<em>Actual overhead rate = Actual Overheads ÷ Actual hours used</em>

Therefore,

Dep A = $35,640 ÷ 8,100 = $4.40

Dep B = $36,040 ÷ 1,440 = $25.03

Dep C = $38,220 ÷ 1,280 = $29.86

Part 2

<em>Overheads applied = Overhead rate × hours used</em>

Therefore,

Overheads applied = $4.40 × 650 hours = $2,860

Part 3

1. Actual costing delays product costing as the information is only available after the period.

2. Difficult to deal with for fluctuating or seasonal sales as new rates always need to be calculated.

<u>Required B</u>

Part 1

1. Product Costing can be done on time hence price setting can also be done at an earlier stage.

2. Rates are determined consistently for fluctuating or seasonal sales

Part 2

<em>Predetermined overhead rate = Budgeted Overheads ÷ Budgeted hours </em>

Therefore,

Dep A = $380,000 ÷ 95,000 = $4.00

Dep B = $420,000 ÷ 70,000 = $6.00

Dep C = $510,000 ÷ 35,000 = $14.57

Part 3

<em>Overheads applied = Predetermined overhead rate × hours used</em>

Therefore,

Overheads applied for January,

Department A = $4.00 × 8,100 hours = $32,400

Department B = $6.00 × 1,440 hours = $8,640

Department C = $14.57 × 1,280 hours = $18,649.60

Part 4

If <em>Actual Overheads > Applied Overheads</em>, we say overheads are under-applied,

and

If <em>Applied Overheads > Actual Overheads</em>, we say overheads are over-applied.

Therefore,

<u>Department A :</u>

Actual Overheads = $35,640

Applied Overheads = $32,400

Therefore, overheads are under-applied by $3,240

<u>Department B :</u>

Actual Overheads = $36,040

Applied Overheads = $8,640

Therefore, overheads are under-applied by $27,400

<u>Department C :</u>

Actual Overheads = $38,220

Applied Overheads = $18,649.60

Therefore, overheads are under-applied by $19,570.40

Part 5

<u>Department A</u>

Cost of Sales = $3,240

<u>Department B</u>

Cost of Sales = $27,400

<u>Department C</u>

Cost of Sales = $19,570.40

Part 6

<u>Department A</u>

Cost of Sales = $3,240

<u>Department B</u>

Cost of Sales = $27,400

<u>Department C</u>

Cost of Sales = $19,570.40

Explanations :

See the formulas and calculations tied together with the solution above.

Note that :

If <em>Actual Overheads > Applied Overheads</em>, we say overheads are under-applied,

and

If <em>Applied Overheads > Actual Overheads</em>, we say overheads are over-applied.

Also that ,

Balances in the Overheads Account are closed off against the Cost of Goods Sold in the Income Statement.

What is a modification problem? What are the three possible types of modification problems?
Oxana [17]

Answers and explanations:

1) A modification problem takes places when creating a database two different type of information is entered in the same chart row generating inaccuracy. The only form to solve this issue is creating a new row so each piece of information will be stored in one row particularly.

2) There are three (3) types of modification problems: the deletion problem (<em>the single row containing information from different themes can be deleted losing data</em>), the update problem (<em>new information entered could lead to more inconsistency</em>), and the insertion problem (<em>similar to deletion, a new row can be inserted instead of the row causing problem but information will be missing</em>).

What program begins with a thirteen-week reintegration treatment program that attempts to improve offenders' basic socialization
oksian1 [2.3K]
This kind of program could be like rehabilitation such as may be provided in a half-way house for people coming out of jail which is designed to help the ex-prisoners to stop the use of illicit drugs, improve socialization skills and find meaningful employment so they can get back on their feet again. Where I live in the province of BC in Canada, it is law that a person can not be barred from employment if his offence was not related to his/her work.
