Job Order Cost Sheet

Carlin Furniture Company refinishes and reupholsters furniture. Carlin Furniture uses a job order cost system. When a prospective customer asks for a price quote on a job, the estimated cost data are inserted on an unnumbered job cost sheet. If the offer is accepted, a number is assigned to the job, and the costs incurred are recorded in the usual manner on the job cost sheet. After the job is completed, reasons for the variances between the estimated and actual costs are noted on the sheet. The data are then available to management in evaluating the efficiency of operations and in preparing quotes on future jobs. On July 6, 2016, an estimate of $3,003 for reupholstering a sofa and loveseat was given to Justin Flannigan. The estimate was based on the following data:

Estimated direct materials:
30 meters at $35 per meter $ 1,050
Estimated direct labor:
24 hours at $30 per hour 720
Estimated factory overhead (75% of direct labor cost) 540
Total estimated costs $2,310
Markup (30% of production costs) 693
Total estimate $3,003

On July 10, the sofa and loveseat were picked up from the residence of Justin Flannigan, 310 Suzuki Drive, Lubbock, TX, with a commitment to return it on September 7. The job was completed on September 3.

The related materials requisitions and time tickets are summarized as follows:

Materials Requisition No. Description     Amount
310 15 meters at $35 $525
312 19 meters at $35 665
Time Ticket No. Description     Amount

1 & 2. Include the estimated and actual direct materials and direct labor. Include the estimated and applied factory overhead.

Learning Objective 2, Learning Objective 3.

What is the best explanation for the variances between actual costs and estimated costs. (For this purpose, assume that three meters of materials were spoiled, the factory overhead rate has been proved to be satisfactory, and an inexperienced employee performed the work.)

  1. The direct materials cost exceeded the estimate because materials were spoiled and the direct labor cost exceeded the estimate because additional hours of labor were used by an inexperienced employee.
  2. Management didn't provide enough direction to complete tasks on budget.
  3. The direct materials cost exceeded the estimate because materials were spoiled.
  4. The direct labor cost exceeded the estimate because additional hours of labor were used by an inexperienced employee.

Ramon had AGI of $180,000 in 2018. He is considering making a charitable contribution this year to the American Heart Association, a qualified charitable organization. Determine the current allowable charitable contribution deduction in each of the following independent situations, and indicate the treatment for any amount that is not deductible currently.

d. Ramon has decided to make a cash gift to the American Heart Association of $113,000. However, he is considering delaying his gift until next year when his AGI will increase to $300,000 and he will be in the 32% income tax bracket, an increase from his current-year income tax bracket of 24%. Ramon asks you to determine the tax savings from the tax deduction in present value terms if he were to make the gift this year, rather than delaying the gift until next year. See Appendix G for the present value factors, and assume a 6% discount rate.

The management of Firebolt Industries Inc. manufactures gasoline and diesel engines through two production departments, Fabrication and Assembly. Management needs accurate product cost information in order to guide product strategy. Presently, the company uses a single plantwide factory overhead rate for allocating factory overhead to the two products. However, management is considering the multiple production department factory overhead rate method. The following factory overhead was budgeted for Firebolt:

1

Fabrication Department factory overhead

$577,200.00

2

Assembly Department factory overhead

235,200.00

3

Total

$812,400.00

Direct labor hours were estimated as follows:

Fabrication Department 5,200 hours
Assembly Department 4,900
Total 10,100 hours

In addition, the direct labor hours (dlh) used to produce a unit of each product in each department were determined from engineering records, as follows:

Production Departments Gasoline Engine Diesel Engine
Fabrication Department 2.8 dlh 1.9 dlh
Assembly Department 1.9 2.8
Direct labor hours per unit 4.7 dlh 4.7 dlh
