Question

X Company has two production departments,A and B.At the start of the year,the following budgeted information is available:


Department A

      Overhead $4,100,000

      Direct labor hours 50,000

      Machine hours 110,000

Department B

    Overhead $1,900,000

    Direct labor hours 60,000

    Machine hours 130,000


The following information is for two specific jobs,Job 111 and Job 222,that were completed during the year:


                                        Department A Department B

Job 111

   Direct labor hours 735 222

    Machine hours    1,070        840

Job 222

    Direct labor hours             337                             520

     Machine hours                1,290 700


1.Using a plantwide allocation system with direct labor hours as the cost driver,what is the allocation to Job 222?


2.Using a departmental allocation system with direct labor hours as the cost driver in Department A and machine hours as the cost driver in Department B,what is the allocation to Job 222?


Explanation / Answer

Dept A OH Rate = OH/DL Hrs = 4100000/50000 = $82.00

Dept B PH Rate = 1900000/60000 = $31.67


1. Job222 OH allocation = 337*$82+520*$31.67

= $44,102.40


2. OH rate for dept A = $82 per DL Hr

Dept B OH rate = OH/No of MC hr

= 1900000/130000 = $14.62 per MC Hr


So Job222 OH = 337*82 + 700*14.62 = $37,868.00
