(Appendix 4A) Predetermined
Barrymore Costume Company, located in New York City, sews costumes for plays and musicals. Barrymore considers itself primarily a service firm, as it never produces costumes without a preexisting order and only purchases materials to the specifications of the particular job. Any finished goods ending inventory is temporary and is zeroed out as soon as the show producer pays for the order. Overhead is applied on the basis of direct labor cost. During the first quarter of the year, the following activity took place in each of the accounts listed:
Job 32 was the only job in process at the end of the first quarter. A total of 1,000 direct labor hours at $10 per hour were charged to Job 32.
Required:
- 1. Assuming that overhead is applied on the basis of direct labor cost, what was the overhead rate used during the first quarter of the year?
- 2. What was the applied overhead for the first quarter? The actual overhead? The under- or overapplied overhead?
- 3. What was the cost of goods manufactured for the quarter?
- 4. Assume that the overhead variance is closed to the cost of goods sold account. Prepare the
journal entry to close out the overhead control account. What is the adjusted balance in Cost of Goods Sold? - 5. For Job 32, identify the costs incurred for direct materials, direct labor, and overhead.

The company uses a traditional costing system in assigning overhead costs to the products on the basis of direct labour hours. However, the Production Manager seeks to replace the existing system with the Activity-based Costing (ABC) system to keep control over costs and offer more competitive pricing. After reviewing the existing costing system and interviewing the company’s personnel in relevant departments, the accountant compiled a report highlighting resources and costs involved in manufacturing watches per month:
The following table lists out the overhead cost:

Which of the following is not a reason to allocate overhead?
Some overhead costs are seasonal and should be spread over production for the entire year.
Â
Unlike direct materials and direct labor, the amount of overhead actually incurred may not be known at the time a job is being worked on.
Â
Allocation is more accurate than tracing items directly to jobs.
Â
Manufacturing overhead is an indirect cost that cannot be physically or economically traced back to a specific item.
The cost accountant of L. Rosales, Inc. is considering to use the ABC system in determining the cost of its products. At present, the company uses the traditional costing systems wherein factory overhead costs are allocated based on direct labor hours. This cost accountant believes that the present system may be providing misleading cost information, hence, the plan to change to ABC system.
Â
For the coming period, the company is planning to use 5,000 direct labor hours, and its total budgeted factory overhead amounts to P 90,000, broken down as follows:
Â
           Activity                                  Cost Driver                 Budgeted Activity     Budgeted Cost

- A stapler manufacturer uses a single plantwide predetermined overhead allocation rate to allocate its indirect costs. The CFO thinks this process could be inaccurate. Which of the following statement is​ incorrect, if the manufacture makes the transition to using multiple predetermined overhead allocation​ rates?  A. The allocation process changes because there are now multiple cost pools and multiple allocation bases.  B. Management must analyze the expected overhead costs and separate them into a cost pool for each department.  C. In selecting machine usage as the primary cost driver for the Production​ Department, management feels that there is a direct relationship between the number of machine hours used and the amount of overhead costs incurred.  D. The use of multiple predetermined overhead allocation rates is more​ complex, but it may be more accurate.arrow_forwardScattergraph, High–Low Method, and Predicting Cost for a Different Time Period from the One Used to Develop a Cost Formula Farnsworth Company has gathered data on its overhead activities and associated costs for the past 10 months.
