QUESTION 2

Dotsero Technology, Inc., has a job-order costing system. The company uses departmental predetermined overhead rates to apply manufacturing overhead cost to individual jobs. The predetermined overhead rate in Department A is based on machine hours, and the rate in Department B is based on direct labour hours. At the beginning of the most recent year (i.e., January 1, 2012), the company's management made the following estimates for the coming year:

                                                                        Department

                                                                        A                                 B

            Machine hours                                    80,000                         21,000

            Direct labour hours                             35,000                         65,000

            Direct materials cost                           $190,000                     $400,000

            Direct labour cost                               $280,000                     $530,000

            Manufacturing overhead cost             $416,000                     $720,000

Job 243 entered into production on April 1, 2012, and all 24 units of product in the job were completed on May 1, 2012. The company's cost records show the following information about the job:

                                                                        Department

                                                                        A                                 B

            Machine hours                                    350                              70

            Direct labour hours                             80                                130

            Direct materials cost                           $940                            $1,200

            Direct labour cost                               $710                            $980                       

At the end of the year (December 31, 2012), the records of Dotsero showed the following actual total cost and operating data for all jobs worked on during the year:

                                                                        Department

                                                                        A                                 B

            Machine hours                                    73,000                         24,000

            Direct labour hours                             30,000                         68,000

            Direct materials cost                           $165,000                     $420,000

            Direct labour cost                               $265,000                     $510,000

            Manufacturing overhead cost             $390,000                     $740,000

Required:

1. Compute the predetermined overhead rates for Department A and Department B at the beginning of the year 2012. ( 3 marks)

2. Compute the total overhead cost applied to Job 243 during the year 2012.   ( 2 marks) (b) What was the total cost of Job 243 once the job was completed? ( 2 mark)

3. Compute the amount of under-applied or over-applied overhead in each department, and in total, at the end of the current year (December 31, 2012). Based on this analysis, comment on the apparent relative quality of this job costing system for generating useful cost information. Briefly justify your answer. ( 5 marks)

4. Return to the original data at the beginning of the question. Assume that, instead of two separate departmental overhead rates, the company uses a single plant-wide overhead application rate based on direct materials cost as the allocation base. Compute the single predetermined overhead application rate for Dotsero Company as of the beginning of the year 2012, and the amount of overhead which would be applied to Job 243. ( 3 marks)

P4.1A (LO 1, 2, 3), AP Combat Fire, Inc. manufactures steel cylinders and nozzles for two models of fi re extinguishers: (1) a home fi re extinguisher and (2) a commercial fi re extinguisher. The home model is a high-volume (54,000 units), half-gallon cylinder that holds 2 1/2 pounds of multi-purpose dry chemical at 480 PSI. The commercial model is a low-volume (10,200 units), two-gallon cylinder that holds 10 pounds of multi-purpose dry chemical at 390 PSI. Both products require 1.5 hours of direct labor for completion. Therefore, total annual direct labor hours are 96,300 or [1.5 hours × (54,000 + 10,200)]. Estimated annual manufacturing overhead is $1,584,280. Thus, the predetermined overhead rate is $16.45 or ($1,584,280 ÷ 96,300) per direct labor hour. The direct materials cost per unit is $18.50 for the home model and $26.50 for the commercial model. The direct labor cost is $19 per unit for both the home and the commercial models. The company’s managers identifi ed six activity cost pools and related cost drivers and accumulated overhead by cost pool as follows.

Estimated Estimated Use
Use of of Drivers by
Estimated Cost Product
Activity Cost Pools Cost Drivers Overhead Drivers Home Commercial

A small business firm. produces raincoats and overeoats for commercial sale and for the Government. Most items are manufactured for specific customer orders. At the beginning of the year. the comptroller estimated costs and production hours for operations throughout the year. Note that Department A is more labor intensive and Department B is more automated:

During the year, Job #l23, a firm fixed—price Government contract for production of 3.000 raincoats, will be started and completed. Estimate contract cost using the rates determined in Question 1 and the following information. Use the Job Cost Summary table for your calculations. Note Department A‘s overhead rate was calculated by using direct labor hours as the base and Department B utilized machine hours.

I Materials cost totaled $3,200 for Department A and $3740 for Department B.

I Direct labor hours totaled 240 for Department A and 80 for Department B.

I Machine hours totaled 120 for Department A and 300 for Depamnent B

Find total cost for Department A and B, show all work

2) At the end of the year, the Comptroller accumulated the total actual costs and hours incurred by Department A and Department B during the year for the company. Using the information provided below, calculate the final overhead rates for both departments.

Department A _ direct labor hour?

Department B _ machine per hour ?

3 Why are the rates that you developed in Question 2 different than the rates developed in Question 1?

4. Given the actual costs stated above in 2, what would be the final cost of Job #123 using the overhead rates determined in Question 1'
