Question

Exercise 2-15 Departmental Overhead Rates [LO2-1, LO2-2, LO2-3]

White Company has two departments, Cutting and Finishing. The company uses a job-order costing system and computes a predetermined overhead rate in each department. The Cutting Department bases its rate on machine-hours, and the Finishing Department bases its rate on direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the year, the company made the following estimates:

  

	Department
	Cutting		Finishing
Direct labor-hours		8,300		69,000
Machine-hours		59,700		3,700
Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost	$	380,000	$	539,000
Variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour	$	3.00		-
Variable manufacturing overhead per direct labor-hour		-	$	4.75

Assume that the overhead rates you computed in (1) above are in effect. The job cost sheet for Job 203, which was started and completed during the year, showed the following:    Department Cutting Finishing   Direct labor-hours 5 15      Machine-hours 80 3      Materials requisitioned $ 790 $ 390      Direct labor cost $ 36 $ 170         Compute the total manufacturing cost assigned to Job 203. (Round your intermediate and final answers to 2 decimal places.) what is total manufacturing cost? 3. Would you expect substantially different amounts of overhead cost to be assigned to some jobs if the company used a plant wide overhead rate based on direct labor-hours, rather than using departmental rates? yes or no????
