Gene Simmons Company uses normal costing in each of its three manufacturing departments. Factory overhead is applied to producti

on on the basis of machine hours in Department A, direct labor cost in Department B, and direct labor hours in Department C. The following annual, budgeted data is available for the year:
first column is dept a then b then c going left to right
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
Direct Labor Hours Used 1,250 2,300 2,100
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.

When vulnerabilities have been controlled to the degree possible, there is often remaining risk that has not been completely rem
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Residual risk

Explanation:

Risk is generally defined as the likelihood that some harm can happen. In quantitative evaluations, risk is defined as the probability that some negative event happens . Residual risk is the threat that remains after all efforts to identify and eliminate risk have been made.   There are four basic ways of dealing with risk: reduce it, avoid it, accept it or transfer it. Since residual risk is unknown, many organizations choose to either accept residual risk or transfer it for example, by purchasing insurance to transfer the risk to an insurance company.  Residual risk is the remaining risk that exists after all hazard mitigation measures have been implemented or exhausted in accordance with the applicable safety requirements and the project risk management process.

Net working capital is defined as current assets divided by current liabilities.
Ahat [919]

Answer:

The answer is False.

Explanation:

False, because the net working capital is determined by subtracting all the current liabilities from the current assets. But in the question, it says net working capital is determined by dividing the current assets with current liabilities which is wrong. Therefore, if the current assent is 10000 dollars and current liabilities are 5000 dollars then net working capital is 10000 – 5000 = $5000.
