At year-end, records show the company incurred $1,575,000 of actual
overhead costs. It completed and sold five jobs with the following
direct labor costs: Job 201, $609,000; Job 202, $568,000; Job 203,
$303,000; Job 204, $721,000; and Job 205, $319,000. In addition,
Job 206 is in process at the end of the year and had been charged
$22,000 for direct labor. No jobs were in process at the beginning
of the year. The company’s predetermined overhead rate is based on
direct labor cost.
Required
1-a. Determine the predetermined overhead rate for the
year.
1-b. Determine the total overhead cost applied to
each of the six jobs during the year.
1-c. Determine the over- or underapplied overhead
at the year-end.
2. Assuming that any over- or underapplied
overhead is not material, prepare the adjusting entry to allocate
any over- or underapplied overhead to Cost of Goods Sold at the end
of the year.
Solution 1a:
Predetermined overhead rate:-
= Total overhead / Total Direct labor cost
= $1,920,000 / (40*2000*$40)
= $1,920,000/$3,200,000
= 60%
