Analyze manufacturing overhead (Learning Objectives 3 & 5)
Smith Foundry in Columbus, Ohio, uses a predetermined manufacturing overhead rate to allocate overhead to individual jobs based on the machine hours required. At the beginning of the year, the company expected to incur the following:
| $ 630,000 | |
| Direct labor cost | $1,650,000 |
| Machine hours | 90,000 |
At the end of the year, the company had actually incurred the following:
| Direct labor cost | $1,230,000 |
| $ 480,000 | |
| Property taxes on plant | $ 19,500 |
| Sales salaries | $ 26,500 |
| Delivery drivers’ wages | $ 17,000 |
| Plant janitors’ wages | $ 8,500 |
| Machine hours | 56,500 hours |
Requirements
- 1. Compute Smith’s predetermined manufacturing overhead rate.
- 2. How much manufacturing overhead was allocated to jobs during the year?
- 3. How much manufacturing overhead was incurred during the year? Is manufacturing overhead underallocated or overallocated at the end of the year? By how much?
- 4. Were the jobs overcosted or undercosted? By how much?

AlSaleh has assigned overhead on a plantwide basis to its two products (Tables and Chairs) using
direct labor hours which are estimated to be 200,000 for the current year. The company has decided
to experiment with activity-based costing and has created two activity cost pools and related
activity cost drivers. These two cost pools are Ordering and receiving (cost driver is Purchase
orders) and machine setup (cost driver is number of setups). Overhead allocated to the ordering
and receiving cost pool is $200,000, and $800,000 is allocated to the machine setup cost pool.
Additional information related to these pools is as follows:

Carla Vista Limited is a company that produces machinery to customer orders, using a normal job-order cost system. It applies
manufacturing overhead to production using a predetermined rate. This overhead rate is set at the beginning of each fiscal year by
forecasting the year's overhead and relating it to direct labour costs. The budget for 2022 was as follows:
Direct labour
Manufacturing overhead
$1,804,000
902,000
As at the end of the year, two jobs were incomplete. These were 1768B, with total direct labour charges of $113,600, and 1819C, with
total direct labour charges of $390,100. Machine hours were 287 hours for 17688 and 647 hours for 1819C. Direct materials issued
for 1768B amounted to $220,000, and for 1819C they amounted to $420,500.
Total charges to the Manufacturing Overhead Control account for the year were $898,500, and direct labour charges made to all jobs
amounted to $1,583,600, representing 247,500 direct labour hours.
There were no beginning inventories. In…
