Problem 4 - Journal Entries, T Accounts and Overhead Applied The Jordan Company uses a job order costing system and applies overhead cost to jobs on the basis of direct labor hours. The following estimates were made for the purpose of computing the predetermined overhead rate: manufacturing overhead cost of $360,000 and direct labor hours of 900. The following transactions took place during the year:

a. Raw materials purchased, $200,000. b. Raw materials used in production (all direct materials), $185,000. c. Salary and wages incurred:

Direct labor (975 hours) 230,000 Indirect labor 90,000 Selling & administrative salaries 110,000

d. Utility costs incurred, $70,000 (90% related to factory operations, remainder to selling & administrative)

e. Maintenance costs were incurred in the factory, $54,000. f. Advertising costs were incurred, $136,000. g. Depreciation was recorded for the year, $95,000 (80% related to factory

equipment, remainder to selling & adm equip.) h. Rental costs incurred on the buildings, $120,000 (85% related to factory

operations, remainder to selling & adm.) i. Manufacturing overhead was applied to jobs j. Cost of goods manufactured for the year, $770,000. k. Sales on account for the year totaled $1,200,000 with a cost to produce of

$800,000. l. The balances in the inventory accounts at the beginning of the year were:

Raw materials 30,000 Work in process 21,000 Finished goods 60,000

Required:

a) Prepare the journal entries to record the information given above. b) Prepare T-accounts for Raw Materials, Work in Process, Finished Goods

Problem 5 - Activity-Based Costing Cabalo Company manufactures two products, Product C and Product D. The company estimated it would incur $130,890 in manufacturing overhead costs during the current period. Overhead currently is assigned to the products on the basis of direct labor hours. Data concerning the current period’s operations appear below:

Product C Product D Estimated volume 400 units 1,200 units Direct labor hours per unit 0.70 hour 1.20 hours Direct material cost per unit $10.70 $16.70 Direct labor cost per unit $11.20 $19.20

Management is considering using activity-based costing to apply manufacturing overhead cost to products for external financial reports. The activity-based costing system would have the following three activity cost pools:

Activity Cost Pool Activity Measure Estimated

Overhead CostMachine setups Number of setups $ 13,570Purchase Orders Number of purchase orders 91,520General Factory Direct labor hours 25,800 Activity Measure Product C Product D TotalNumber of setups 100 130 230Number of purchase orders 810 1,270 2,080Number of direct labor hours 280 1,440 1,720 Required:

a) Compute the predetermined overhead rate under the current method. Determine the unit product cost of each product.

b) Determine the activity rate (i.e. predetermined overhead rate) for each cost pool.

c) Compute the total amount of manufacturing overhead cost that would be applied to each product using the activity-based costing system. After these totals have been computed, determine the amount of manufacturing overhead cost per unit of each product.

d) Compute the unit product cost of each product. e) Compute the overhead applied to work-in-process using both traditional

costing and ABC for a job with the following actual activity: Activity Measure JobNumber of setups 10Number of purchase orders 40Number of direct labor hours 60

Solutions to True / False Problems

1. True 2. True 3. False because variable costs are not always direct costs, which can be traced

to a specific cost object. 4. True 5. False because a manufacturing firm reports both manufacturing and

nonmanufacturing costs. 6. False because a job cost sheet summarizes all of the costs incurred on a

specific job. 7. False because manufacturing overhead includes all manufacturing costs except

direct materials and direct labor. 8. True 9. True 10. True 11. True 12. True 13. True 14. False because this describes activity based costing, not activity based

management. 15. True
