Question

Managerial Project (Job Costing) Innes Beach Manufacturing Company (Part 1) The Innes Beach Manufacturing Company produces a basic product that is modified to the needs of each customer. The modified product can have big cost differences. Each order is considered a job that could include several thousand units of the product. The Company uses a Job Costing System with only one cost pool for Manufacturing Overhead which is allocated based on direct labor hours. The overhead rate is predetermined (Normal Costing) at the beginning of the year. In order to speed up Innes Beach part 2, the overhead items were classified in activities rather than the traditional approach of utilities, depreciation, rent, etc. The following manufacturing data was used to determine the overhead rate for the current year: Total Activity Estimated Costs Design $370,000 Engineering 212,000 Purchasing 24,000 Material Handling 76,000 Machine Set-up 102,000 Machining Activities 980,000 Assembly 125,000 Inspection 340,000 Power Usage(Machines) 300,000 Facilities &Management 1,500,000 Robotics 2,971,000 Total Est. Overhead $7,000,000 Cost Driver Estimated Use of Driver 125,000 hrs. Direct Labor hours The following data is available for the third quarter of the current year: Job 12 Job 13 Job 14 Job 15 Job 16 Beg.
