Direct Method, Reciprocal Method, Overhead Rates

Macalister Corporation is developing departmental overhead rates based on direct labor hours for its two production departments—Molding and Assembly. The Molding Department employs 19 people, and the Assembly Department employs 75 people. Each person in these two departments works 1,910 hours per year. The production-related overhead costs for the Molding Department are budgeted at $239,000, and the Assembly Department costs are budgeted at $99,000. Two support departments—Engineering and General Factory—directly support the two production departments and have budgeted costs of $221,000 and $379,000, respectively. The production departments’ overhead rates cannot be determined until the support departments’ costs are properly allocated. The following schedule reflects the use of the Engineering Department’s and General Factory Department’s output by the various departments.

Engineering General Factory Molding Assembly
Engineering hours —     2,500 2,200 7,800   
Square feet 88,200     388,080 111,720   

For all requirements, round allocation ratios to four significant digits and round allocated costs to the nearest dollar.

Required:

1. Calculate the overhead rates per direct labor hour for the Molding Department and the Assembly Department using the direct allocation method to charge the production departments for support department costs. Round final answers to the nearest cent.

Problem 23-5A (Part Level Submission) Hart Labs, Inc. provides mad cow disease testing for both state and federal governmental agricultural agencies. Because the company’s customers are governmental agencies, prices are strictly regulated. Therefore, Hart Labs must constantly monitor and control its testing costs. Shown below are the standard costs for a typical test. Direct materials (2 test tubes @ $1.80 per tube) $3.60 Direct labor (1 hour @ $30 per hour) 30.00 Variable overhead (1 hour @ $7.00 per hour) 7.00 Fixed overhead (1 hour @ $13.00 per hour) 13.00 Total standard cost per test $53.60 The lab does not maintain an inventory of test tubes. As a result, the tubes purchased each month are used that month.

Thomas Denton, Jr. was appointed the manager of Westbrook Properties, a recently formed company that manages residential rental properties. Maria Garcia is the accountant. She prepared a chart of accounts based on an analysis of the expenditures of the company. One of the largest expense categories is Travel and Entertainment. Mr. Denton believes that it is important to maintain a presence in the social life of the city. In this, he sharply differs from his father, Thomas Denton, Sr. The elder Mr. Denton has set up Westbrook Properties in order to test his son's management skills before allowing him to manage a more lucrative commercial property business. Mr. Denton, Sr. provided the capital for Westbrook, and maintains close contact with the company. He allowed his son, however, to hire his own employees.

Mr. Denton has asked Ms. Garcia to name the Travel and Entertainment account Property Development. He hopes to deflect his father's attention away from the amount he has spent on travel and entertainment until he has proven that his methods work. When Ms. Garcia resisted, he reminded her that he, not his father, hired her. He also reminded her that she had been enthusiastic about his business plans when she was hired.

Required:

      Should Ms. Garcia agree to the change in the Travel and Entertainment account to Property Development? Explain
