Question

Kody Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a plantwide overhead rate based on machine-hours. At the beginning of the year, the company made the following estimates:

Compute the predetermined overhead rate. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

During the year Job 500 was started and completed. The following information was available with respect to this job:

Compute the total manufacturing cost assigned to Job 500. (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal places.)

During the year the company worked a total of 145,300 machine-hours on all jobs and incurred actual manufacturing overhead costs of $1,244,815. What is the amount of underapplied or overapplied overhead for the year? (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)

If this amount were closed out entirely to Cost of Goods Sold, would net operating income increase or decrease?

Kody Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a plantwide overhead rate based on machine-hours. At the beginning of the year, the company made the following estimates:

Machine-hours required to support estimated production 157,000   Fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 652,000   Variable manufacturing overhead cost per machine-hour $ 4.40 Required: 1.

Compute the predetermined overhead rate. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

2.

During the year Job 500 was started and completed. The following information was available with respect to this job:

  Direct materials requisitioned $ 390   Direct labor cost $ 240   Machine-hours used 32

Compute the total manufacturing cost assigned to Job 500. (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal places.)

If this amount were closed out entirely to Cost of Goods Sold, would net operating income increase or decrease?

Explanation / Answer

1)

Predetermined overhead cost = estimated manufacturing overhead cost / estimated total hours in allocation base

Predetermined overhead cost = 652000/157000

= 4.15

2) Total manufacturing cost assigned to Job 500 = material cost + labor cost + overhead cost

= $390 + $ 240 + ($4.15*32)

= $670 + $132.80

= $802.80

3) Total manufacturing overhead applied to work in process = 652000

Total manufacturing overhead cost actually incurred = 1244815

Under applied overhead cost = 592815
