Question

Problem 3-12 Predetermined Overhead Rate; Disposing of Underapplied or Overapplied Overhead (LO3- Luzadis Company makes furniture using the latest automated technology. The company uses a job-order costing system and applies manufacturing overhead cost to products on the basis of machine-hours. The predetermined overhead rate was based on a cost formula that estimates $980,000 of total manufacturing overhead for an estimated activity level of 98.000 machine-hours. During the year, a large quantity of furniture on the market resulted in cutting back production and a buildup of furniture in the company's warehouse. The company's cost records revealed the following actual cost and operating data for the year. 78,000 941.000 Machine-hours Manufacturing overhead cost Inventories at year-end: Raw materials Work in process (includes overhead applied of $39.000) Finished goods (includes overhead applied of $117.000) Cost of goods sold (includes overhead applied of $624,000) 15,000 97,500 $ 292,500 $1,560,000 Required: 1. Compute the underapplied or overopplied overhead, 2. Assume that the company closes any underapplied or overapplied overhead to Cost of Goods Sold. Prepare the appropriate journal entry 3. Assume that the company allocates any underapplied or overapplied overhead proportionally to Work in Process, Finished Goods, and Cost of Goods Sold. Prepare the appropriate journal entry 4. How much higher or lower will net operating income be if the underapplied or overapplied overhead is allocated to Work in Process Finished Goods, and Cost of Goods Sold rather than being closed to cost of Goods Sold? Complete this question by entering your answers in the tabs below. Required 1 Required 2 Required 3 Required 4 Compute the underapplied or overapplied overhead. Required 2 >

Answer 1

1) Overhead rate = 980000/98000 = 10 per hour

Applied overhead = 78000*10 = 780000

actual overhead = 941000

Under applied overhead = 941000-780000 = 161000

2) Adjusting entry

Date	account and explanation	Debit	Credit
	Cost of goods sold	161000
	Manufacturing overhead		161000
	(To record under applied overhead)

3) Adjusting entry

Date	account and explanation	Debit	Credit
	Work in process (161000*5%)	8050
	Finished goods (161000*15%)	24150
	Cost of goods sold	128800
	Manufacturing overhead		161000
	(To record under applied overhead)

4) Net income increase by (8050+24150) = 32200 if under applied overhead is alocated rather than entirely closed to cost of goods sold
