ABC company estimated that the cost of materials wil be $9500
and direct labour $20,000. Factory overheads is applied at $15 per
direct labour hours in the moulding dept and at 150% of direct
labor in finishing dept. it is estimated that 1600 direct labor
hours will be required in moulding and that direct labor cost in
finishing wil be $6300.
Calculate:
1. Prime cost
2. Conversion cost
3. Cost to produce.
1.
Direct materials = $9,500
Direct labor = $20,000
Prime cost = Direct materials+ Direct labor
= 9,500+20,000
= $29,500
2.
Factory overhead rate in moulding department = $15 per direct labor hour
Factory overhead rate in finishing department = 150% of direct labor cost
Direct labor hours used in moulding department = 1,600
Direct labor cost in finishing department = $6,300
Factory overhead applied in moulding department = Direct labor hours used in moulding department x Factory overhead rate in moulding department
= 1,600 x 15
= $24,000
Factory overhead applied in finishing department = Direct labor cost in finishing department x Factory overhead rate in finishing department
= 6,300 x 150%
= $9,450
Total factory overhead applied = Factory overhead applied in moulding department + Factory overhead applied in finishing department
= 24,000+9,450
= $33,450
Conversion cost = Direct labor + Total factory overhead applied
= 20,000+33,450
= $53,450
3.
Cost to produce = Direct materials + Direct labor + Total factory overhead applied
= 9,500+20,000+33,450
= $62,950
