Problem A

Sound of Music Co. has a job order costing system. The following items appeared in the Work in
Process Inventory account during April, 2018:

April 1, 2018, balance $20,000

Materials placed into ?
production
Direct labor (4,000 hours) $120,000
Factory overhead applied $ 96,000
Cost of goods $400,000
manufactured
April 30, 2018, balance $ 16,000

Sound of Music applies overhead to production on the basis of direct labor hours. Job XX, the only job in
process on April 30, has been charged $10,600 materials cost and has 100 labor hours of direct labor time
assigned to it.
Required:
a. Determine the predetermined factory overhead rate for Sound of Thunder Company.
b. Determine the amounts of materials, direct labor, and factory overhead included in the April 30, 2018,
work in process.
c. Determine the amount of materials placed into production during April 2018.

ANSWER: a. Factory overhead rate = $96,000 / 4,000 =

$24 per direct labor hour
b. Costs assigned to Job XX:
materials $10,600
direct labor (100 × $30*) = 3,000

factory overhead applied (100 × $24) = 2,400

work in process, April 30, 2018 = $16,000
* $120,000 / 4000 = $30 per hour
c. $X + $120,000 + $96,000 + $20,000 − $16,000 = $400,000 X = $180,000

Problem B

Matriarch Incorporated uses a job-order costing system and a predetermined overhead rate based
on machine hours. At the beginning of the year, the company estimated manufacturing overhead
for the year would be $240,000 and machine hours would be 8,000. The following information
pertains to November of the current year: Job 10
J 10 J11 J12 Total
WIP 11-1 $16,000 $26,000 $38,000 $80,000

PROBLEM E
The next three questions are based on the following information:

M Company wishes to allocate the costs of its support departments, Housekeeping (HK) and
Maintenance (MN) to its production departments, Machining and Finishing. The following
information is provided:

HK MN Machining Finishing Total

Overhead costs $35,000 $20,000$200,000 $100,000 $355,000

The company plans to use budgeted service hours as the allocation base and provides the
following information:
S e r v i c e s P r o v I d e d T o:
HK MN Machining Finishing Total
Service provided by HK — 7,000 21,000 7,000 35,000
Service provided by MN 10,000 — 18,000 12,000 40,000

5
 1. (LO.5) If the direct method of allocating support department costs is used, the total service costs
allocated to the Finishing Department would be:
a. $8,000.
b. $8,750.
c. $12,000.
d. $16,750.

2. (LO.5) If the step-down method of allocating support department costs is used, how much
Maintenance Department costs would be allocated to the Finishing Department if the allocation
process begins with Housekeeping?
a. $7,000
b. $10,800
c. $16,200
d. $20,000

3. (LO.5) If the reciprocal method of allocating service costs is used, what total amount of
Housekeeping costs (rounded to the nearest dollar) will ultimately be allocated to the other
departments?
a. $42,105
b. $35,000
c. $33,684
d. $28,421

1. d (CMA Adapted)

HK to Finishing: $35,000 x 7/(21+ 7) = $ 8,750

MN to Finishing: $20,000 x 12/(18+12) = $ 8,000
Total allocation to Finishing = $16,750

2. b (CMA Adapted)

HK to MN: $35,000 x (7/35) = $7,000;

Therefore:
MN = $20,000 + $7,000 = $27,000
MN to Finishing: $27,000 x (12/30) = $10,800

3. a (CMA adapted)
HK = $35,000 + .25MN; MN = $20,000 + .2HK
Therefore:
HK = $35,000 + .25($20,000 + .2MN)
HK = $35,000 + $5,000 + .05HK
.95HK = $40,000
HK = $42,105

PROBLEM F
The next two questions are based on the following information:

P Company is considering using activity-based costing instead of its traditional costing system
because it believes its current system may be providing misleading information. The following
data shows the budgeted manufacturing overhead.

Budgeted Budgeted
Activity Cost Driver Activity Cost
Materials handling No. of parts handled 6,000,000 $720,000
Setup costs No. of setups 750 315,000
Machining costs Machine hours (MH) 30,000 540,000
Quality control No. of batches 500 225,000
Total overhead cost $1,800,000

6
 The company also estimates that it will work 50,000 direct labor hours in the coming year. The
following information is provided for one of the company’s products for the coming year:

Direct material and Direct Labor

Direct materials cost per unit $4.40
Direct labor cost per unit
.05 DLH @ $15/DLH .75
Total $5.15

Sales and production data:

Expected sales 20,000 units
Batch size 5,000 units
Setups 2 per batch
Total parts per finished unit 5 parts
Machine hour required 80 MH per batch

1. (LO.4) If the organization uses a traditional full cost system, the cost per unit of this product for
the coming year will be
a. $6.95.
b. $6.11.
c. $5.44.
d. $5.39.

2. (LO.4) If the organization uses an activity-based cost system, the cost per unit of this product for
the coming year will be
a. $6.30.
b. $6.21.
c. $6.08.
d. $6.00.

Answers:

1. b (CMA Adapted)
The overhead rate is $1,800,000 ÷ 30,000 machine hours = $60 per MH.
$60 per MH x 80 MH per batch = $4,800; $4,800 ÷ 5,000 units per batch = $.96 per unit.
Therefore, the full unit cost is = $6.11 ($4.40 + $0.75 + $0.96)

2. a (CMA Adapted)
Materials handling cost per part is $720,000 ÷ 6,000,000 = $.12
Cost per setup is $315,000 ÷ 750 = $420
Machining cost per hour is $540,000 ÷ 30,000 = $18
Quality cost per batch is $225,000 ÷ 500 = $450
Therefore, total manufacturing overhead applied is as follows:
(5 parts per unit x 20,000 units x $.12) = $12,000
+ (4 batches x 2 setups per batch x $420) = $ 3,360
+ (4 batches x 80 machine hours per batch x $18) = $ 5,760
+ (4 batches x $450)] = $ 1,800
Total overhead $22,920
Overhead per unit ($22,920 / 20,000) $1.146
Therefore, the full unit cost is $6.296 ($4.40 + $0.75 + $1.146)

PROBLEM G

M Corporation manufactures a specialty line of jeans using a job-order-cost system. During May,
the following costs were incurred in completing Job M1: direct materials, $13,700; direct labor,
$4,800; administrative, $1,400; and selling, $5,600. Overhead was applied at the rate of $25 per
machine hour, and Job M1 required 800 machine hours. If Job M1 resulted in 7,000 good jeans,
the cost of goods sold per unit would be
a. $5.50.
b. $6.30.
c. $5.70.
d. $8.50.

a (CMA Adapted)

($13,700 + $4,800 + (800 x $25) = $38,500; $38,500 / 7,000 = $5.50

PROBLEM H
Q Company uses a normal cost system. The following information is from its financial records for
the year:
Total manufacturing costs, $2,500,000
Cost of goods manufactured, $2,425,000
Applied overhead, 30% of total manufacturing costs
Predetermined OH rate, 80% of direct labor cost

Assuming the company’s work in process inventory at January 1 was 75 percent of its December
31 work in process inventory, what is the carrying value of the company’s work in process
inventory at December 31?
a. $75,000
b. $100,000
c. $225,000
d. $300,000

d (CMA Adapted)
$2,500,000 + .75X – X= $2,425,000
2,500,000 – .25X = $2,425,000
$75,000 = .25X
= $300,000
