Precision Instruments, Inc., uses job order costing and applies manufacturing overhead to individual jobs by using predetermined overhead rates. In Department A, overhead is applied on the basis of machine-hours, and in Department B, on the basis of direct labor hours. At the beginning of the current year, management made the following budget estimated as a step toward determining the overhead application rates:
Department ADepartment B
Direct labor…………$420,000$300,000
Manufacturing overhead…$540,000$412,500
Machine-hours…….. 18,000 1,900
Direct labor hours……… 28,000 25,000
Production of 4,000 tachometers (job no. 399) was started in the middle of January and completed two weeks later. The cost records for this job show the following information:
Department ADepartment B
Job no. 399 (4,000 units of product):
Cost of materials used on job…………….$6,800$4,500
Direct labor cost…………………………..$8,100$7,200
Direct labor hours…..………………… 540 600
Machine-hours…………………………. 250 100
Instructions:
a. Determine the overhead rate that should be used for each department in applying overhead costs to job no. 399.
b. What is the total cost of job no. 399, and what is the unit cost of the product manufactured in this production order?
c. Prepare the journal entries required to record the sale (on account) of 1,000 of the tachometers to SkiCraft Boats. The total sales price was $19,500.
d. Assume that actual overhead costs for the year were $517,000 in Department A and $424,400 in Department B. Actual machine-hours in Department A were 17,000 and actual direct labor hours in Department B were 26,000 during the year.
