Answer the following question(s) using the information below.
Peter’s Printers has contracts to complete weekly supplements required by forty-six customers. For the year 2019, manufacturing overhead cost estimates total $360,000 for an annual production capacity of 7.2 million pages.


For 2019, Peter’s Printers has decided to evaluate the use of additional cost pools. After analyzing manufacturing overhead costs, it was determined that number of design changes, setups, and inspections are the primary manufacturing overhead cost drivers. The following information was gathered during the analysis:
Cost pool Manufacturing overhead costs Activity level
Design changes $60,000 400 design changes
Setups 260,000 5,000 setups
Inspections 40,000 10,000 inspections
   Total manufacturing overhead costs $360,000
During 2019, two customers, World Makers and Happy Studios, are expected to use the following printing services:

Activity World Makers Happy Studios
Pages 60,000 76,000
Design changes 10 0
Setups 20 10
Inspections 30 38

4. What is the cost driver rate if manufacturing overhead costs are considered one large cost pool and are assigned based on 7.2 million pages of production capacity?
a. $0.05 per page
b. $0.035 per page
c. $0.35 per page
d. $0.025 per page
e. $0.045 per page

5. Using pages printed as the only overhead cost driver, what is the manufacturing overhead cost estimate for World Makers during 2019?
a. $2,500
b. $21,000
c. $3,000
d. $2,700
e. $2,100


6. Assuming activity-cost pools are used, what are the activity-cost driver rates for design changes, setups, and inspections cost pools?
a. $200 per change, $64 per setup, $5 per inspection
b. $150 per change, $52 per setup, $5 per inspection
c. $150 per change, $64 per setup, $5 per inspection
d. $150 per change, $52 per setup, $4 per inspection
e. $200 per change, $5 per setup, $64 per inspection
Short Answer
The following costs are attributed to the Quilt Company:
Purchase of raw materials (all direct) $297,100
Direct labour cost $141,800
Manufacturing overhead costs $175,160
Inventories:
Beginning raw materials $10,000
Ending raw materials $900
Beginning work in process $20,000
Ending work in process $10,800
Beginning finished goods $20,000
Ending finished goods $5,800

Quilt Company used a 120% predetermined overhead rate based on direct labour cost.
Required:
7. Calculate the cost of goods manufactured.
8. What was the cost of goods sold before adjusting for any under or over applied overhead?
9. By how much was manufacturing overhead cost under or over applied?
10. Would the summary journal entry to close any under or over applied manufacturing overhead cost be a debit or credit to COGS?

Answer 1

Blockbuster Entertainment :c. $3,750

Cost of each unit = direct material + direct manufacturing labour + Manufacturing overhead = 500 + 1500 + (1500/30 ) x 35 = $3750

3.b. the costs have a cause-and-effect relationship with the cost-allocation base for that activity.

Peter’s Printers

4.a. $0.05 per page

Overhead costs / No. of pages = $360000 / 7200000 = $0.05 per page

5.c. $3,000

No. of pages x cost per page = 60000 x $0.05 = $3000

6.d. $150 per change, $52 per setup, $4 per inspection

Design changes = $60000 / 400 design changes = $150

Setups = $260000 / 5000 setups = $52

Inspections = $40000 / 10000 inspections = $4
