Question
Trex by Rex produces back packs and fanny packs for the outdoors enthusiast. Production costs include direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead – both fixed and variable. The following costs were budgeted for the year:
The back packs are expected to require 2.5 direct labor hours and planned production is 12,000 units. The fanny packs are expected to require 1.8 direct labor hours and planned production is 18,000 units.
The actual direct labor hours required in production for the year were as follows:
Overhead is applied to production using direct labor hours and the actual manufacturing cost for the year was $270,500.
Calculate the manufacturing overhead rate used to apply overhead to production of both the back packs and the fanny packs. What is the resulting over- or under-absorbed overhead for the year?
Explain what the over- or under-absorbed overhead represents and how it will be handled in the determination of the final costs of the products.
Show your work for any calculations and written analysis.
Fixed manufacturing overhead $187,200 Variable manufacturing overhead $1.10/direct labor hour Fixed selling and administration $375,000Explanation / Answer
Total estimated hours (12000*2.5)+(18000*1.8) 62400 Budegetd fixed manufacturing overhead rate per hour 187200/62400 3.0 ans 1 Budgeted manufacturing rate per hour $3+1.1 $4.10 per hour ans 1 ans 2 Actual Manufacturing overhead $270,500 Applied overhead 206271 (34060+16250)*4.1 Underapplied $64,229 ans 2 ans 3 Under absorbed overhead represents that the overhead appled to the production was less than the actual overhead cost incurred, this in turn decreases the cost of the packs So one way to charge it to the final cost is to charge it to Cost of good sold. Hence cost of good sold will be debited by $64229. Other way is to charge it to WIP, finished goods inventory and cost of good sold proportianately
