Question

The Daniels Tool & Die Corporation has been in existence for a little over three years. The company’s sales have been increasing each year as it builds a reputation. The company manufactures dies to its customers’ specifications and therefore uses a job-order cost system. Factory overhead is applied to the jobs based on direct labour hours—the absorption-costing (full) method. Overapplied or underapplied overhead is treated as an adjustment to Cost of Goods Sold. The company’s income statements and other data for the last two years are as follows:

Daniels used the same predetermined overhead rate in applying overhead to its production orders in both 2015 and 2016. The rate was based on the following estimates:

Fixed factory overhead		$24,790
Variable factory overhead		$153,698
Direct labour hours (used in WIP)		24,790
Direct labour costs (used in FG)		$148,740

In 2015 and 2016, the actual direct labour hours used were 20,200 and 23,800, respectively. Raw materials put into production were $291,500 in 2015 and $370,600 in 2016. The actual fixed overhead was $42,300 for 2015 and $23,240 for 2016, and the planned direct labour rate was the direct labour achieved.

For both years, all of the administrative costs were fixed. The variable portion of the selling expenses results from a 5% commission that is paid as a percentage of the sales revenue.

*(a) For the year ended December 31, 2016, prepare a revised income statement for Daniels Tool & Die Corporation using the variable-costing method. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5,275.)
