Clean and Brite manufactures three different models of swimming pool cleaners (AR1, AR2, | ||||||
and BR1). These are sophisticated computer-controlled, programmed cleaners that scrub and | ||||||
vacuum the pool's bottom, and steps and provide supplemental filtration of pool water. The | ||||||
three models differ in their capacity and programmability. | ||||||
Clean and Brite uses an absorption costing system that absorbs manufacturing overhead to | ||||||
the three models based on direct labor hours. The single plantwide manufacturing overhead | ||||||
rate is predetermined before the beginning of the fiscal year using a flexible manufacturing | ||||||
overhead budget. Variable manufacturing overhead is budgeted to be $3.00 per direct | ||||||
labor hour, and fixed manufacturing overhead is budgeted to be $1,397,500. Direct labor | ||||||
is budgeted at $25 per DLH. The following table summarizes the budgeted and actual | ||||||
results of operation for the year: | ||||||
Models | ||||||
AR1 | AR2 | BR1 | ||||
Actual number of units produced | 5,100 | 3,900 | 2,200 | |||
Actual DL hours per unit | 3.1 | 4.2 | 5.9 | |||
Budgeted wholesale price | $550 | $750 | $1,050 | |||
Budgeted DL hours per scrubber | 3 | 4 | 6 | |||
Budgeted direct materials | $95 | $125 | $175 | |||
Budgeted production (units) | 5,000 | 4,000 | 2,000 | |||
Budgeted DL cost (@$25 per DL hour) | $75 | $100 | $150 | |||
REQUIRED: | ||||||
1. Calculate the firmwide overhead rate at the beginning of the year (round to two decimals). | ||||||
2. A batch of 100 units of model AR2 is produced using 405 direct labor hours. How much | ||||||
overhead is absorbed by this batch of 100 model AR2s? | ||||||
3. Actual overhead incurred during the year was $1,520,500. Calculate the amount of over- or | ||||||
underabsorbed overhead for the year. | ||||||
4. Clean and Brite writes off any over/underabsorbed to cost of good sold. What is the effect | ||||||
of writing off the over/underabsorbed overhead calculated in (3) on net income? In other | ||||||
words, does net income increase or decrease after the writeoff? |

Absorbed overhead is more than actual overhead,Hence, Over-absorption happended | |||||||||||||||||||
Overabsorbed overhead=Absorbed overhead-Actual overhead=1603535-1520500=$ 83035 | |||||||||||||||||||

Manufacturing overhead-Debit | 83035 | ||||||||||||||||||
cost of goods sold-Credit | 83035 | ||||||||||||||||||
Here, cost of goods sold is Credited.Hence,over-absorption will result in decrease in cost of goods sold.Thus, it will result in higher gross profit and it will result in increase in net income. | |||||||||||||||||||
