Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Actual manufacturing overhead= $340,000

Budgeted machine hours= 10,000

Budgeted direct-labor hours= 20,000

Budgeted direct-labor rate= $14

Budgeted manufacturing overhead= $364,000

Actual machine hours= 11,000

Actual direct-labor hours= 18,000

Actual direct-labor rate= $15

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate for each cost driver:

To calculate the estimated manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Machine-hours:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 364,000/10,000= $36.4 per machine hour

Direct-labor hours:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 364,000/20,000= $18.2 per direct labor hours

Direct-labor dollars:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 364,000/(20,000*14)= $1.3 per direct labor dollar

Now, we can allocate overhead:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Machine-hours:

Allocated MOH= 36.4*11,000= $400,400

Direct-labor hours:

Allocated MOH= 18.2*18,000= $327,600

Direct-labor dollars:

Allocated MOH= 1.3*(18,000*15)= $351,000

Finally, we can determine the over/under allocation:

Over/under allocation= real MOH - allocated MOH

Direct-machine hours:

Over/under allocation= 340,000 - 400,400= $60,400 overallocated.

Direct-labor hours:

Over/under allocation= 340,000 - 327,600= $12,400 underallocated.

Direct-labor dollars:

Over/under allocation= 340,000 - 351,000= $11,000 overallocated

Semmy [17]

Answer:

Option A,$257,732 is correct

Explanation:

The computation of income from operations requires that the operating expenses(variable operating expenses and fixed operating expenses) be deducted in the current period as against charging a portion to closing inventory as it is obtainable under the absorption costing method:

Direct materials $180,100

Direct labor $238,100

Variable factory overhead $261,800

Total prime costs $680,000

Less closing stock(1900*$680,000/18200) ($70,989)

Costs of good sold $609,011

add:operating expenses:

variable operating expenses $126,500

Fixed operating expenses $49,900

Fixed factory overhead $97,900

Total expenses $883,311

income from operations=sales-total expenses

=$1,141,000-$883,311=$257,689

The $257,689 is closest to option A,$257,732 the difference could be due to rounding error
