Question

Kalp Corporation has two production departments, Customization and Machining. The company uses a job-order costing system and computes a predetermined overhead rate in each production department. The Machining department’s predetermined overhead rate is based on machine hours and the Customization department’s predetermined overhead rate is based on direct labor hours. The company has made the following estimates for the two production departments:

                                                                                                Machining       Customization

Machine hours                                                                        16,000             11,000

Direct labor hours                                                                   18,000             6,000

Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost                               $92,800           $28,800

Variable manufacturing overhead per machine hour             $1.20               -

Variable manufacturing overhead per labor hour                   -                       $5.00

The following data was recorded for Job 2110:

                                                            Machining                   Customization

            Machine hours                        50                                40

            Direct labor hours                   60                                30

            Direct materials                       $430                            $180

            Direct labor cost                     $800                            $540

1. What is the predetermined overhead rate for the Customization Department?

2. What is the predetermined overhead rate for the Machining Department?

3. What was the total cost of Job 2110?

4. If the company marks up its manufacturing costs by 40%, then what is the total selling price for Job 2110 (rounded to nearest dollar)?

Explanation / Answer

1 Predetermined overhead rate for the Customization Department = 1.20+(92800/16000)= $7 2 Predetermined overhead rate for the Machining Department = 5+(28800/6000)= $9.8 3 Direct materials 610 =430+180 Direct labor cost   1340 =800+540 Overhead applied 644 =(50*7)+(30*9.8) Total cost of Job 2110 2594 4 Total selling price = 2594+(2594*40%)= $3632
