Question
queen dairy determined the total predetermined OH rate for costing purposes is 26.80 per animal/day. Of this 25.20 is the variable portion. Overhead cost information for 2 levels of activity within relevant range:4000 animal days 6000 animal days
indirect materials 25,600 38,400
indirect labor 56,000 80,000
maintenance 10,400 13,600
utilities 8,000 12,000
all other 15,200 21,600
a. Determine fixed and variable values for each of the overhead items, and determine the total overhead cost formula.
b. Assume the total predetermined OH is based on expected annual capacity. What is the level of activity for the company?
c. Determine expected overhead costs at the expected annual capacity.
d. If the company raises its expected capacity by 3000 animal days above the present level, calculate a new total overhead rate for product costing.
Explanation / Answer
Indirect materials: Variable 6.40/day Fixed 0 Indirect Labor Variable 12.00/day Fixed 8,000 Maintenance Variable 1.60/day Fixed 4,000 Utilities Variable 2.00/day Fixed 0 Other Variable 3.30/day Fixed 2,400 Total overhead 25.20/day + 14,400. 14,400/(26.80-25.20)= 9,000 days is level of activity. Expected costs are 25.20* 9,000 +14,400= 241,200 12,000 days would have an overhead rate of 25.20 +14,400/12,000= 26.37.
