Explanation / Answer

Part 1 - Calculation of predetermined overhead rate

Predetermined Overhead rate = Estimated total manufacturing overhead cost/Estimated total amount of the allocation base

Here Allocation base is cost of direct material used in production

= 600000/400000 = 150%

Part 2 - Calculation of over/under applied Overhead

Note 1 - Applied overhead cost

Part 3 - Schedule of Cost of goods manufactured

Part 4 - Computation of cost of goods sold

Part 5 - The underapplied overhead can be disposed at:-

a) adjust to Cost of Goods Sold

b) allocate between Work in Process, Finished Goods, and Cost of Goods Sold on the basis of overhead applied during the year in the ending balance.

Part 6 - Calculation of price to be charged to customer

Particulars Amount (in pound) Indirect Labour 150000 Property taxes 52000 Depreciation on equipment 260000 Maintenance 105000 Insurance 9000 Rent of building 150000 Actual overhead cost 726000 Applied overhead cost (Note 1) 675000 Underapplied overhead cost 51000
