Question


Exercise 3-17 Plantwide and Departmental Overhead Rates; Job Costs [LO3-1, LO3-2, LO3-3]
[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.]

Delph Company uses a job-order costing system and has two manufacturing departments—Molding and Fabrication. The company provided the following estimates at the beginning of the year:
  
    Molding   Fabrication   Total
Machine-hours      20,000        30,000     50,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead costs   $   700,000     $   210,000     $ 910,000
Variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour   $   3.00     $   3.00       
  
During the year, the company had no beginning or ending inventories and it started, completed, and sold only two jobs—Job D-70 and Job C-200. It provided the following information related to those two jobs:
  
Job D-70:   Molding   Fabrication   Total
Direct materials cost   $   375,000     $   325,000     $   700,000
Direct labor cost   $   200,000     $   160,000     $   360,000
Machine-hours      14,000        6,000        20,000
  
Job C-200:   Molding   Fabrication   Total
Direct materials cost   $   300,000     $   250,000     $   550,000
Direct labor cost   $   175,000     $   225,000     $   400,000
Machine-hours      6,000        24,000        30,000
  
Delph had no overapplied or underapplied manufacturing overhead during the year.
Assume Delph uses a plantwide overhead rate based on machine-hours.
Compute the predetermined plantwide overhead rate
Compute the total manufacturing costs assigned to Job D-70 and Job C-200.
If Delph establishes bid prices that are 150% of total manufacturing costs, what bid price would it have established for Job D-70 and Job C-200?
What is Delph’s cost of goods sold for the year?

Explanation / Answer

Plantwide overhead rate = 910,000/50,000

                                              = $18.20

Total plantwide rate = 18.20 + 3.00 = $21.20

Total manufacturing cost

Job D-70

Job C- 200

Direct material

700,000

550,000

Direct labor

360,000

400,000

Factory overhead

424,000

636,000

Total manufacturing cost

1,484,000

1,586,000

Bid price                                          $2,226,000                                      $2379,000

Cost of goods sold                          = $3,070,000

Plantwide overhead rate = 910,000/50,000

                                              = $18.20

Total plantwide rate = 18.20 + 3.00 = $21.20
