1. $5.50 overhead will be applied to the relevant job for every
hour of direct labor work on that job.Betty Queen Motorboat
Company used 400 direct labor hours (200 hrs for job #257,
150 hrs for job #258, and 50 hrs for job #259). What is the
manufacturing overhead for each job?
Look at our illustration above for direct labor:
With an overhead rate of $5.50 and 400 hours, $2,200 of
manufacturing overhead will be assigned to the
following jobs:
Job #257 200 hrs @ 5.50 = $1,100
Job #258 150 hrs @ 5.50 = $825
Job #259 50 hrs @ 5.50 = $275Total: 400 hrs @5.50 = $2,200
2.A typical entry to record factory overhead costs would be as
follows:
Dr. Factory Overhead ...100,000
Cr. Salaries Payable..................50,000
Cr. Supplies .............................15,000
Cr. Prepaid Insurance ...... ..... ..... ..5,000
Cr. Accumulated Depreciation ....11,000
Cr. Taxes Payable ......................9,000
Cr. Utilities Payable ..................10,000
3.Activity-Based Costing or simply ABC In these highly automated, flexible manufacturing environmen
we need to look at a more refined costing
system so we can achieve a fair and equitable allocation of cost
There is a need for new approaches to
tracing overhead costs. If we can identify the causes of costs by
activities, we can more accurately assign overhead costs based o
the amount of overhead each product truly consumes. This
approach/method has given accountants and managers a bette
understanding of what drives overhead costs.
4. actual overhead costs of $650,000 and the overhead applied
to jobs amounted to $680,000. That means we over-applied
the overhead costs by $30,000. The over-applied overhead
cost is credited to?
Cost of Goods Sold, reducing it.
5. d ABC is a costing technique that uses a two-stage allocation
process:1. The first stage identifies activities and assigns the overhead
costs on the basis of activities that
have consumed resources;
2. In the second stage, costs are allocated from each activity-co
pool to each product line in
proportion to the amount of products consumed by the product
line.
6. d indirect cost are allocated derectely to the cost object by 1)
Traditional Coasting or 2) Active Based Costing
Consept of active-based-costing
Stage 1: Overheads are assigned to activities (costs are first
pooled according to activities, and than activei cost driver ratesStage 2: Products Charge with Cost of activities
Ex 1. Activity-Based Costing = Set up cost; Cost Drive = No. of s
ups; Cost Driver Rate = Set up cost/No. of Set ups
Ex. 2. Active Cost Pool = Ordering Cost; Cost Drive = No. of
orders; Cost Driver Rate = Ordering Cost/No. of orders
Important to keep in mind that overhead cost are increasing da
by day wereas ABC costing is becoming more relevant.

15. Suppose a company had $52,000 of actual overhead and
applied $50,000 to jobs using a predetermined overhead
rate. In this case, overhead is?
Is under-applied by $2,000, represented by the debit balance in the
Manufacturing Overhead account. Under-applied overhead is
charged to Cost of Goods Sold [if the amount
is immaterial (relatively small)]. The following journal entry is
made:
Dr Cost of Goods Sold $2,000.00
Cr Manufacturing Overhead $2,000.00
