Kronos Test Systems manufactures automated testing equipment. The company uses a job-order costing system and applies overhead
on the basis of machine hours (MH). At the beginning of the year, estimated manufacturing overhead was $1,960,000, and the
estimated machine hours was 98,000. Data regarding several jobs at Kronos are presented below.
 
Job Number Beginning Balance Direct Materials Direct Labour Machine Hours
XJ-107 $218,000 $5,000 $8,400 180
ST-211 121,450 2,500 12,160 300
XD-108 22,600 81,450 20,960 3,100
SL-205 40,000 71,800 27,000 2,020
RX-115   15,200 20,000 1,00

By the end of the first month (January), all jobs but RX-115 were completed, and all completed jobs had been delivered to customers
except for SL-205.

Required:

What was the balance in Finished Goods inventory at the end of January?

The Finished Goods inventory consists of job SL-205 only. The balance in the account is computed as follows:
 
Beginning balance, job SL-205 $40,000
November charges to job SL-205  
Direct materials 71,800
Direct labour 27,000
Manufacturing overhead applied* 40,400
Ending balance, job SL-205 $179,200

* Predetermined overhead rate = $1,960,000 ÷ 98,000 MH = $20 per MH


Overhead applied = 2,020 machine-hours × $20 per MH = $40,400

At the beginning of the year, manufacturing overhead for the year was estimated to be $300,960 At the end of the year, actual direct
labor-hours for the year were 22,000 hours, the actual manufacturing overhead for the year was $250,900, and manufacturing
overhead for the year was underapplied by $12,420. The predetermined overhead rate is based on direct labour-hours.

Required:

What must have been the estimated direct labor-hours at the beginning of the year used in setting the predetermined overhead rate?

Actual mfg. overhead - Applied mfg. overhead = Underapplied mfg. overhead


$250,900 - Applied manufacturing overhead = $12,420
Applied manufacturing overhead = $238,480
 
Applied manufacturing Actual direct labour-hours x (Estimated manufacturing
overhead = overhead/Estimated direct
labour-hours)
$238,480 = 22,000 x ($300,960 /Estimated direct
labour-hours)
$10.84 = (300,960/Estimated direct  
labour hours)

Estimated direct labor-hours = 27,764 direct labour-hours (rounded)

Kong Company reported the following actual costs data for the year:
 
Purchase of raw materials (all direct) $200,000
Direct labour (average hourly rate of $25) 400,000
Manufacturing overhead costs 100,000
Change in inventories:  
Increase in raw materials $25,000
Increase in work in process 16,000
Increase in finished goods 30,000

Kong Company used a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labour hours. Estimated annual manufacturing overhead cost and
direct labour hours were $150,000 and 20,000, respectively.

Required:

a. What was the pre-determined manufacturing overhead rate?


b. Calculate the cost of goods manufactured.
c. What was the cost of goods sold before adjusting for any under or overapplied overhead?
d. By how much was manufacturing overhead cost under or overapplied?
e. Prepare a summary journal entry to close any under or overapplied manufacturing overhead cost to cost of goods sold. Is such an
entry appropriate in this situation? Why or why not?
f. Analyze the under or overapplied manufacturing overhead costs calculated in part c above into two separate components: amount
due to incorrect estimate of the annual manufacturing overhead costs and an amount due to incorrect estimate of the annual direct
labour cost.

a. Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate = $150,000/20,000


= $7.50 per direct labour hour (DLH)

b.
Cost of goods manufactured:    
Direct materials used    
Purchase of raw materials $200,000  
Less: Increase in raw materials 25,000 $175,000
inventory
Direct labour costs   400,000
Applied manufacturing   120,000
overhead ($7.50 × 16,000
DLHs*)
Total manufacturing cost added   $695,000
Less: Increase in work in   16,000
process inventory
Cost of goods manufactured   $679,000

*Actual DLHs = $400,000/25

c.
Unadjusted cost of goods sold:  
Cost of goods manufactured (from Part b) $679,000
Less: Increase in finished goods inventory 30,000
Unadjusted cost of goods sold $649,000

d.
Actual manufacturing overhead costs $100,000
Less: applied manufacturing overhead costs 120,000
($7.50 × 16,000 DLHs)
Overapplied manufacturing overhead costs $20,000

e.
Journal entry:    
Manufacturing overhead $20,000  
Cost of goods sold   $20,000

No, closing the entire amount to cost of goods sold does not seem appropriate in this situation because the amount is relatively large

12/16/21, 1:29 PM Assignment Print View
and, therefore, material, that is, 20% of actual manufacturing overhead cost or 13.33% of the estimated manufacturing overhead cost.

f. Two components of the $20,000 net overapplied manufacturing overhead cost:

Incorrect estimate of the manufacturing overhead costs alone would have caused over-application of $50,000, that is, $100,000 -
$150,000.
Incorrect estimate of direct labour hours alone would have caused under-application of $30,000, that is, $7.50 × (16,000 DLHs - 20,000
DLHs).
Net of $50,000 over-application and $30,000 under-application is $20,000 over-application.

 
 22.    

Over- or underapplied overhead may be closed off entirely to Cost of Goods Sold if the amount is insignificant.

 True

 False

Over- or underapplied overhead costs may be closed off to Cost of Goods Sold only if the amount is immaterial. If the amount is
significant it may either be deferred (capitalized/recorded on the balance sheet) or pro-rated between Cost of Goods Sold, Work-In-

Freeman Company uses a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labour hours to apply manufacturing overhead to jobs. At the
beginning of the year, the company estimated manufacturing overhead would be $200,100 and direct labour hours would be 16,000.
The actual figures for the year were $196,000 for manufacturing overhead and 20,000 direct labour hours. The cost records for the
year will show which of the following? (Round predetermined overhead rate to 2 decimal places.)

 Overapplied overhead of $54,200.

 Underapplied overhead of $30,000.

 Underapplied overhead of $54,200.

 Overapplied overhead of $6,000.

OH Rate = $200,100/16,000 hrs. = $12.51/hr.; Applied = 20,000 hrs. @ $12.51/hr = $250,200; $250,200-$196,000 = $54,200

An audit firm s 10 full-time professionals who provide services to clients. All professional labour compensation is traced directly to
clients on a per professional labour-hour basis. Any other costs are included in a single indirect-cost pool (same as overhead) and
allocated to individual clients according to billable professional labour-hours.

Operating costs and data for the year included the following:
 
  Estimated Actual
Overhead (indirect) costs $1,000,000 $1,200,000
Number of billable professional 40,000 50,000
labour-hours
Total professional compensation 750,000 750,000

Required:

a. By how much, if any, was the overhead cost underapplied or overapplied?


b. Prepare a summary journal entry to close any underapplied or overapplied overhead cost to a Cost of Services Provided account.
c. Explain qualitatively and quantitatively (in as much detail as possible) the source(s) of any underapplied or overapplied overhead
cost.

a). Amount of underapplied or overapplied overhead costs:

Predetermined rate = $1,000,000/40,000


= $25 per professional labour-hour (PLH)
 
Actual overhead costs $1,200,000
Applied overhead costs (50,000 * $25) 1,250,000
Overapplied overhead $50,000

b). Summary journal entry to close underapplied or overapplied overhead costs to Cost of Services Provided account.
In this case, overhead costs were overapplied implying a credit balance in the Overhead Control account. This credit has to be
transferred to the Cost of Services Provided account to reduce it.
 
Overhead control $50,000  
Cost of services provided   $50,000

c). Explain qualitatively and quantitatively (in as much detail as possible) the source(s) of any underapplied or overapplied overhead
cost.
Note that the situation is one of overapplied overhead costs.

Qualitative explanations: The predetermined rate ($25 per PLH) was higher than the actual rate of $24 (that is, $1,200,000/50,000).
This was caused by the fact that both estimates (costs and professional labour hours) were incorrect. Specifically, number of billable
hours increased (25%) more than the overhead costs (20%).
Quantitative explanations: One source is the fact that the estimated costs were less than the actual costs by $200,000 (underapplied)
while the actual professional labour hours were 10,000 more than the estimated. The latter is an equivalent of $250,000 overapplied
(that is, 10,000 × $2.50). The net result is an overapplied of $50,000.

Stan Wilson, a newly hired worker at Superior Molding, was puzzled by the job cost sheets attached to the jobs he worked on. He
understood the materials and labour cost entries; these entries represent the actual costs of materials he requisitioned for the job and
the cost of the labour hours he recorded for the job. However, he did not understand the entry for Manufacturing Overhead. This entry
was made at the end of the day by the accountants, and he had no idea where this number came from. He asked the company's
controller, Mary Donner, but the only part of the explanation he understood was that the overhead entries do not represent actual
overhead costs.

Required:

Explain to Stan what the Manufacturing Overhead entries on the job cost sheet mean.

The Manufacturing Overhead entries on the job cost sheet are arrived at by applying a predetermined overhead rate to the base, which
most likely is direct labour hours. This number does not represent actual overhead costs. By definition, it is difficult or impossible to
trace overhead costs to particular jobs. Therefore, actual overhead costs cannot really be traced to the jobs Stan works on. Even so, an
"actual" rate could be used instead of a predetermined rate for spreading overhead costs among jobs. However, most companies
choose to use a predetermined rate since actual rates tend to fluctuate and cannot be determined until the close of the accounting
period.

Harrell Company uses a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labour hours to apply manufacturing overhead to jobs. At the
beginning of the year, the company estimated its total manufacturing overhead cost at $400,000 and its direct labour hours at 100,000
hours. The actual overhead cost incurred during the year was $350,000 and the actual direct labour hours incurred on jobs during the
year was 90,000 hours. What would be the manufacturing overhead for the year?

 $10,000 underapplied.

 $10,000 overapplied.

 $50,000 underapplied.

 $50,000 overapplied.

Sharp Company's records show that overhead was overapplied by $10,000 last year. This overapplied overhead was closed out to the
Cost of Goods Sold account at the end of the year. In trying to determine why overhead was overapplied by such a large amount, the
company has discovered that $6,000 of depreciation on factory equipment was charged to administrative expense in error. Given the
above information, which of the following statements is true?

 Manufacturing overhead was actually overapplied by $16,000 for the year.

 The company's net income is understated by $6,000 for the year.

 Under the circumstances described above, the error in recording depreciation would have no effect on net income for the
year.

 The $6,000 in depreciation should have been charged to Work in Process rather than to administrative expense.

Although the actual overhead should have been $6,000 greater and therefore overapplied overhead of $4,000 the effect on NI is zero
because the depreciation was still deducted (as an operating expense instead of CGS) to compute NI therefore no error on the NI
amount.

Manufacturing overhead costs 269,000
Change in inventories:  
Decrease in raw materials $12,000
Decrease in work in process 10,000
Decrease in finished goods 20,000

X Company used a 150% predetermined overhead rate based on direct labour cost. The rate was based on annual estimated overhead
cost and direct labour cost of $252,000 and $168,000, respectively.

Required:

a. Calculate the cost of goods manufactured.


b. What was the cost of goods sold before adjusting for any under or overapplied overhead?
c. By how much was manufacturing overhead cost under or overapplied?
d. Prepare a summary journal entry to close any under or overapplied manufacturing overhead cost to cost of goods sold. Is such an
entry appropriate in this situation? Why or why not?
e. Analyze the under or overapplied manufacturing overhead costs calculated in part c above into two separate components: amount
due to incorrect estimate of the annual manufacturing overhead costs and an amount due to incorrect estimate of the annual direct
labour cost.

a.
Cost of goods manufactured:    
Direct materials used    
Purchase of raw materials $300,000  
Add: Decrease in raw materials 12,000 $312,000
inventory
Direct labour costs   200,000
Applied manufacturing   300,000
overhead (150% × $200,000)
Total manufacturing cost added   $812,000
Add: Decrease in work in   10,000
process inventory
Cost of goods manufactured   $822,000

b.
Unadjusted cost of goods sold:  
Cost of goods manufactured (from Part a) $784,000
Add: Decrease in finished goods inventory 16,000
Unadjusted cost of goods sold $800,000

c.
Actual manufacturing overhead costs $246,000
Less: applied manufacturing overhead costs 240,000
(150% × $160,000)
Underapplied manufacturing overhead costs $6,000

d.
Journal entry:    
Cost of goods sold $6,000  
Manufacturing overhead   $6,000

Yes, closing the entire amount to cost of goods sold seems appropriate in this situation because the amount is not material, about
2.44% of actual manufacturing overhead cost or 2.38% of the estimated manufacturing overhead cost.

e. Two components of the $6,000 net underapplied manufacturing overhead cost:

Incorrect estimate of the manufacturing overhead costs alone would have caused over-application of $6,000, that is, $246,000 -
$252,000.
Incorrect estimate of the direct labour cost alone would have caused under-application of $12,000, that is, 150% × ($168,000 -

Scanlon Company has a job-order costing system and applies manufacturing overhead cost to products on the basis of machine hours.
The following estimates were used in preparing the predetermined overhead rate for the most recent year:

Machine hours: 95,000


Manufacturing overhead cost: $1,710,000

During the most recent year, a severe recession in the company's industry caused the curtailment of production and a buildup of
inventory in the company's warehouses. The company's cost records revealed the following actual cost and operating data for the year:

Machine hours: 75,000


Manufacturing overhead cost: $1,687,500

Amount of applied overhead in inventories at year-end:

Work in process: $337,500


Finished goods: 253,125
Amount of applied overhead in cost of goods sold for the year: 759,375

Required:

(a.) Compute the company's predetermined overhead rate for the year and the amount of under- or overapplied overhead for the year.
(b.) Determine the difference between net income for the year if the under- or overapplied overhead is allocated to the appropriate
accounts rather than closed out directly to Cost of Goods Sold.

The company's predetermined overhead rate for the year is:


$1,710,000 ÷ 95,000 = $18 per machine hour

The amount of under-/overapplied overhead is:


 
Actual overhead $1,687,500
Applied overhead ($18 * 75,000) 1,350,000
Underapplied overhead $337,500

Allocation of underapplied overhead:


 
Overhead applied in $337,500 25.00% $84,375
work in process
Overhead applied in 253,125 18.75% 63,281
finished goods
Overhead applied in 759,375 56.25% 189,844
cost of goods sold
Total overhead applied $1,350,000 100.00% $337,500

The entire amount of $337,500 underapplied overhead is added to Cost of Goods Sold where no allocation occurs. Allocation results in
only $189,844 being added to Cost of Goods Sold. Net income would be higher under allocation by $337,500 - $189,844 = $147,656.

 
 62.    

Over- or under applied overhead should always be closed off to Cost of Goods Sold.

 True

 False

Over- or underapplied overhead costs are closed off to Cost of Goods Sold only if the amount is immaterial. If the amount is significant
it may either be deferred (capitalized/recorded on the balance sheet) or pro-rated between Cost of Goods Sold, Work-In-Process, and
Finished Goods Inventories.

Beginning Work-in-Process: $20,000  
Ending Work-in-Process: $ 10,000  
Direct Materials Used: $40,000  
Direct Costs Incurred in Production: $60,000  
Actual Indirect costs incurred in Production: $76,000 ($36,000 of which is fixed)
Beginning Finished Goods Inventories: $80,000  
Ending Finished Goods Inventories: $40,000  
 
Budgeted Fixed Factory Overhead was $40,000 based on an expected activity level of 10,000 hours. During the period, GHI
employees worked a total of 8,000 direct labour hours. GHI uses a job-order costing system and applies overhead costs using direct
labour hours. What was GHI's applied overhead for the year?

 $36,000

 $22,500

 $20,000

 $32,000

POHR = $40,000 budgeted factory overhead / 10,000 direct labour hours = $4 per direct labour hour.
 
Applied overhead = POHR × actual activity level = $4/hour × 8,000 hours = $32,000.

Direct Materials $ 700,000 $ 400,000 $ 600,000
Direct Labour $ 100,000 $ 200,000 $ 250,000
Overhead is applied to jobs at a rate of $0.50 per direct labour dollar spent. During the year, Job 1 was completed, while Job 2 was
completed and sold. Job 3 is still process at the end of the year. Actual manufacturing overhead costs incurred amounted to $300,000.
GHI employees worked a total of 55,000 hours during the year. To dispose of any over or under-applied overhead, GHI must:

 Credit Manufacturing Overhead Control Account by $25,000

 Debit Manufacturing Overhead Control Account by $25,000

 Credit Manufacturing Overhead Control Account by $55,000

 Debit Manufacturing Overhead Control Account by $55,000

Overhead applied during the year = ($100,000 + $200,000 + $250,000) × 0.50 = $275,000.
 
$300,000 actual overhead − $275,000 applied overhead = $25,000 Underapplied. Therefore, a credit to the Manufacturing Overhead
Control Account for $25,000 is required.

The Sky Manufacturing Company uses a job-order costing system and applies overhead to jobs using a predetermined overhead rate.
The company closes out any balance in the Manufacturing Overhead account to Cost of Goods Sold. During the year the company's
Finished Goods inventory account was debited for $130,000 and credited for $110,000. The ending balance in the Finished Goods
inventory account was $30,000. At the end of the year, manufacturing overhead was overapplied by $4,500.

 
 107.  
 

What was the balance in the Finished Goods inventory account at the beginning of the year?

 $28,000

 $10,000

 $17,500

 $8,500

Beginning FG = $30,000 + $110,000 - $130,000 = $10,000.

 
 108.    

If the estimated manufacturing overhead for the year was $24,000, and the applied overhead was $26,500, what was the actual
manufacturing overhead cost for the year?

 $19,500

 $22,000

 $28,500

 $31,000

Actual MOH = 26,500 - 4,500 overapplied = $22,000.

Sai Company uses a job order cost system and applies manufacturing overhead costs to jobs using a predetermined overhead rate
based on direct labour-hours. The following data were extracted from the company's accounting records for Year 6
 
  Estimated Actual
Manufacturing overhead costs $60,000 $66,000
Direct labour hours 20,000 hours 26,500 hours

Job #461 was completed during the year and the following costs had been incurred on that job:
 
Direct materials: $5,000
Direct labour: $1,500 (at $5.00 per direct labour hour)

 109.    

Suppose Job #461 contained 100 units. What unit cost would appear on the job cost sheet for job #461?

 $55.00 per unit.

 $61.00 per unit.

 $61.75 per unit.

 $74.00 per unit.

DLH = $1,500/$5/DLH = 300 hrs.


OH rate = $60,000 /20,000 DLH = $3.00.
Cost of Job = 5,000 + 1,500 + (300 hrs. @ $3.00/hr) = $7,400
Therefore $7,400 /100 units = $74.00 per unit.

 
 110.  
 

What was the underapplied or over applied overhead for the year?

 $13,500 overapplied.

 $4,000 underapplied.

 $15,000 underapplied.

 $10,000 overapplied.

Applied = 26,500 hrs @ $3.00 /hr. = $79,500 - 66,000 actual = $13,500 overapplied.

 
 111.    

How much of any underapplied or overapplied overhead would have been due to the fact that the estimated overhead allocation base
was different from the actual?

 $4,000

 $6,000

 $19,500

 $14,000

Actual hours - estimated hours = 6,500 hours @ $3.00 /hr = $19,500.

 112.    

How much of any underapplied or overapplied overhead would have been due to the fact that the estimated overhead costs were
different from the actual?

 $4,000

 $6,000

 $10,000

 $14,000

Causes are explained further in chapter 10.

(Appendix 5A) Secrease Corporation uses machine-hours as the allocation base for applying its manufacturing overhead.
 
Estimated manufacturing overhead cost for the $594,000
year
Capacity 110,000 machine-hours
Estimated amount of the allocation base for the 108,000 machine-hours
year
Amount of the allocation base for the actual 88,000 machine-hours
output of the year
Actual manufacturing overhead cost for the year $589,000

All of the company's manufacturing overhead is fixed.

 
 113.    

(Appendix 5A) What is the predetermined overhead rate based on capacity to 2 decimal places?

 $5.35

 $6.69

 $5.50

 $5.40

OH rate = $594,000/110,000 hours = $5.40.

 
 114.    

(Appendix 5A) If the predetermined overhead rate is based on capacity, by how much was manufacturing overhead for the year over
applied or underapplied?

 Manufacturing overhead underapplied $113,800

 Manufacturing overhead overapplied $113,800

 Manufacturing overhead overapplied $105,000

 Manufacturing overhead underapplied $105,000

88,000 @ $5.40/hr = $475,200 applied therefore underapplied $113,800.
