Correct Answer D

At an activity level of 7,200 machine-hours in a month, Falks Corporation’s total variable production engineering cost is $556,416 and its total fixed production engineering cost is $226,008. What would be the total production engineering cost per unit, both fixed and variable, at an activity level of 7,300 machine-hours in a month? Assume that this level of activity is within the relevant range.

  1. $107.93
  2. $107.18
  3. $108.67
  4. $108.24

Variable cost per unit = $556,416 ÷ 7,200 units = $77.28 per unit

Fixed cost per unit at 7,300 units = $226,008 ÷ 7,300 units = $30.96 per unit

Total cost = Variable cost + Fixed cost

= $77.28 per unit + $30.96 per unit

= $108.24 per unit

5) Chapter 1, Objective 1-5

Correct Answer C

Dominik Corporation purchased a machine 5 years ago for $527,000 when it launched product M08Y. Unfortunately, this machine has broken down and cannot be repaired. The machine could be replaced by a new model 310 machine costing $545,000 or by a new model 240 machine costing $450,000. Management has decided to buy the model 240 machine. It has less capacity than the model 310 machine, but its capacity is sufficient to continue making product M08Y. Management also considered, but rejected, the alternative of dropping product M08Y and not replacing the old machine. If that were done, the $450,000 invested in the new machine could instead have been invested in a project that would have returned a total of $532,000.

In making the decision to buy the model 240 machine rather than the model 310 machine, the sunk cost was:

  1. $545,000
  2. $450,000
  3. $527,000
  4. $532,000

Sunk cost = Cost of old machine = $527,000

Predetermined overhead rate (a) ÷ (b)

$12.10

7) Chapter 2, Learning Objective 2-1, 2-2, 2-4

Correct Answer D

Boward Corporation has two production departments, Milling and Assembly. The company uses a job-order costing system and computes a predetermined overhead rate in each production department. The Milling Department’s predetermined overhead rate is based on machine-hours and the Assembly Department’s predetermined overhead rate is based on direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the current year, the company had made the following estimates:

Milling

Assembly

Machine-hours

18,000

12,000

Direct labor-hours

2,000

7,000

Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost

$120,600

$76,300

Variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour

$2.00

Variable manufacturing overhead per direct labor-hour

$4.30

During the current month the company started and finished Job T818. The following data were recorded for this job:

Job T818:

Milling

Assembly

Machine-hours

50

30

Direct labor-hours

10

40

The total amount of overhead applied in both departments to Job T818 is closest to:

  1. $1,651
  2. $608
  3. $435
  4. $1,043

Milling Department overhead cost = Fixed manufacturing overhead cost + (Variable overhead cost per machine-hour × Total machine-hours in the department)

= $120,600 + ($2.00 per machine-hour × 18,000 machine-hours)

= $120,600 +$36,000 = $156,600

Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated total manufacturing overhead cost ÷ Estimated total amount of the allocation base incurred = $156,600 ÷ 18,000 machine-hours = $8.70 per machine-hour

Overhead applied to a particular job = Predetermined overhead rate × Amount of the allocation base incurred by the job = $8.70 per machine-hour × 50 machine-hours = $435

Assembly Department overhead cost = Fixed manufacturing overhead cost + (Variable overhead cost per direct labor-hour × Total direct labor-hours in the department)

= $76,300 + ($4.30 per direct labor-hour × 7,000 direct labor-hours)

= $76,300 + $30,100 = $106,400

Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated total manufacturing overhead cost ÷ Estimated total amount of the allocation base incurred = $106,400 ÷7,000 direct labor-hours = $15.20 per direct labor-hour

Overhead applied to a particular job = Predetermined overhead rate × Amount of the allocation base incurred by the job = $15.20 per direct labor-hour × 40 direct labor-hours = $608

The Machining Department’s predetermined overhead rate is based on machine-hours and the Finishing Department’s predetermined overhead rate is based on direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the current year, the company had made the following estimates:

Machining

Finishing

Machine-hours

19,000

12,000

Direct labor-hours

2,000

8,000

Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost

$136,800

$69,600

If the company marks up its manufacturing costs by 20% then the selling price for Job K928 would be closest to:

  1. $4,275.00
  2. $5,643.00
  3. $5,130.00
  4. $855.00

Machining Department overhead cost = Fixed manufacturing overhead cost + (Variable overhead cost per machine-hour × Total machine-hours in the department)

= $136,800 + ($1.80 per machine-hour × 19,000 machine-hours)

= $136,800 +$34,200 = $171,000

Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated total manufacturing overhead cost ÷ Estimated total amount of the allocation base incurred = $171,000 ÷ 19,000 machine-hours = $9.00 per machine-hour

Overhead applied to a particular job = Predetermined overhead rate × Amount of the allocation base incurred by the job = $9.00 per machine-hour × 90 machine-hours = $810

Finishing Department overhead cost = Fixed manufacturing overhead cost + (Variable overhead cost per direct labor-hour × Total direct labor-hours in the department)

= $69,600 + ($3.20 per direct labor-hour × 8,000 direct labor-hours)

= $69,600 + $25,600 = $95,200

Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated total manufacturing overhead cost ÷ Estimated total amount of the allocation base incurred = $95,200 ÷8,000 direct labor-hours = $11.90 per direct labor-hour

Overhead applied to a particular job = Predetermined overhead rate × Amount of the allocation base incurred by the job = $11.90 per direct labor-hour × 50 direct labor-hours = $595

12) Chapter 3 Learning Objective 3-4

Correct Answer D

Sawyer Manufacturing Corporation uses a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours to apply manufacturing overhead to jobs. Last year, the Corporation worked 57,000 actual direct labor-hours and incurred $345,000 of actual manufacturing overhead cost. The Corporation had estimated that it would work 55,000 direct labor-hours during the year and incur $330,000 of manufacturing overhead cost. The Corporation's manufacturing overhead cost for the year was:

  1. Overapplied by $15,000
  2. Underapplied by $15,000
  3. Overapplied by $3,000
  4. Underapplied by $3,000

Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated total manufacturing overhead cost ÷ Estimated total amount of the allocation base = $330,000 ÷ 55,000 direct labor-hours = $6 per direct labor-hour

Overhead over or underapplied

13) Chapter 3, Learning Objective 3-3

Correct Answer A

Hudek Inc., a manufacturing Corporation, has provided the following data for the month of July. The balance in the Work in Process inventory account was $20,000 at the beginning of the month and $10,000 at the end of the month. During the month, the Corporation incurred direct materials cost of $50,000 and direct labor cost of $22,000. The actual manufacturing overhead cost incurred was $58,000. The manufacturing overhead cost applied to Work in Process was $56,000. The cost of goods manufactured for July was:

  1. $138,000
  2. $140,000
  3. $130,000
  4. $128,000

Cost of goods manufactured = Direct materials + Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead applied + Beginning work in process inventory - Ending work in process inventory
= $50,000 + $22,000 + $56,000 + $20,000 - $10,000
= $138,000

14) Chapter 3, Objective 3-4

Correct Answer D

Thomas Inc. has provided the following data for the month of November. The balance in the Finished Goods inventory account at the beginning of the month was $149,000 and at the end of the month was $145,000. The cost of goods manufactured for the month was $226,000. The actual manufacturing overhead cost incurred was $74,000 and the manufacturing overhead cost applied to Work in Process was $70,000. The adjusted cost of goods sold that would appear on the income statement for November is:

A. $226,000
B. $230,000
C. $222,000
D. $234,000

Manufacturing overhead underapplied (overapplied) = Actual manufacturing overhead incurred - Manufacturing overhead applied = $74,000 - $70,000 = $4,000 underapplied

Adjusted cost of goods sold = Beginning finished goods inventory + Cost of goods manufactured - Ending finished goods inventory + Manufacturing overhead underapplied
= $149,000 + $226,000 - $145,000 + $4,000
= $234,000
