Waterways has two major public-park projects to provide with
comprehensive irrigation in one of its service locations this
month. Job J57 and Job K52 involve 15 acres of landscaped terrain,
which will require special-order, sprinkler heads to meet the
specifications of the project. Using a job cost system to produce
these parts, the following events occurred during December.
Raw materials were requisitioned from the company’s inventory on
December 2 for $5,058; on December 8 for $1,056; and on December 14
for $3,459. In each instance, two-thirds (2/3) of these materials
were for J57 and the rest for K52.
Six time tickets were turned in for these two projects for a total
amount of 18 hours of work. All the workers were paid $17.5 per
hour. The time tickets were dated December 3, December 9, and
December 15. On each of those days, 6 labor hours were spent on
these jobs, two-thirds (2/3) for J57 and the rest for K52.
The predetermined overhead rate is based on machine hours. The
expected machine hour use for the year is 2,110 hours, and the
anticipated overhead costs are $844,000 for the year. The machines
were used by workers on projects K52 and J57 on December 3, 9, and
15. Six machine hours were used for project K52 (2 each day), and
8.5 machine hours were used for project J57 (2.5 the first day and
3 each of the other days). Both of these special orders were
completed on December 15, producing 200 sprinkler heads for J57 and
100 sprinkler heads for K52.
