Question

Problem 2-16 Plantwide Predetermined Overhead Rates; Pricing (L02-1, LO2-2, LO2-3) Landen Corporation uses a job-order costing system. At the beginning of the year, the company made the following estimates: Direct labor-hours required to support estimated production Machine-hours required to support estimated production Fixed manufacturing overhead cost Variable manufacturing overhead cost per direct labor-hour Variable manufacturing overhead cost per machine-hour 130,000 65,000 $364,000 $ 4.00 $ 8.00 During the year, Job 550 was started and completed. The following information is available with respect to this job: $ 349 Direct materials Direct labor cost Direct labor-hours Machine-hours Required: 1. Assume that Landen has historically used a plantwide predetermined overhead rate with direct labor-hours as the allocation base. Under this approach: a. Compute the plantwide predetermined overhead rate. b. Compute the total manufacturing cost of Job 550. c. If Landen uses a markup percentage of 200% of its total manufacturing cost, what selling price would it establish for Job 550?! 2. Assume that Landen's controller believes that machine-hours is a better allocation base than direct labor-hours. Under this approach: a. Compute the plantwide predetermined overhead rate. b. Compute the total manufacturing cost of Job 550. c. Ir Landen uses a markup percentage of 200% of its total manufacturing cost, what selling price would it establish for Job 550? (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places. Round your "Predetermined Overhead Rate" answers to 2 decimal places and all other answers to the nearest whole dollar.) 80 per DLH 1. Direct labor-hours: a. Predetermined overhead rate b. Total manufacturing cost of Job 550 c. Selling price 2. Machine-hours: a. Predetermined overhead rate b. Total manufacturing cost of Job 550 C. Selling price per MH

Answer 1

1) Direct labor hour

a) Predetermine overhead rate = (364000/130000)+4 = 6.80 per DLH

b) Total manufacturing cost = 253+349+(15*6.8) = 704

c) Selling price = 704+704*2 = $2112

2) Machine hour

a) Predetermine overhead rate = (364000/65000)+8 = 13.60 per MH

b) Total manufacturing cost = 253+349+(5*13.60) = 670

c) Selling price = 670*3 = 2010
