Compute the predetermined overhead rate to be used in each department.

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

	Stamping Department	Assembly Department
Direct labour-hours	40,000	125,000
Machine-hours	300,000	15,000
Manufacturing overhead cost	$2,550,000	$4,000,000
Direct labour cost	$360,000	$3,200,000

Solutions

Expert Solution

Stamping Department:

Predetermined Overhead rate= Estimated total manufacturing overhead cost

Estimated total amount of the allocation base

Predetermined Overhead rate= $2,550,000

$300,000 machine-hours

Predetermined Overhead rate= $8.50 per machine-hours

Assembly Department:

Predetermined Overhead rate= Estimated total manufacturing overhead cost

Estimated total amount of the allocation base

Predetermined Overhead rate= $4,000,000

$3,200,000 direct labour cost

Predetermined Overhead rate= 125% Direct labour cost

Stamping Department: $8.50 per machine-hours

Assembly Department: 125% Direct labour cost

Predetermined Overhead Rate, Overhead Variances, Journal Entries Craig Company uses a predetermined overhead rate to assign overhead to jobs. Because Craig's production is machine intensive, overhead is applied on the basis of machine hours. The expected overhead for the year was $6,461,400, and the practical level of activity is 363,000 machine hours. During the year, Craig used 369,500 machine hours and incurred actual overhead costs of $6,502,100. Craig also had the following balances of applied overhead in its accounts: Work-in-process...
