Landen Corporation uses a job-order costing system. At thebeginning of the year, the company made the followingestimates:
| | |
Direct labor-hoursrequired to support estimated production | | 95,000 |
Machine-hours required to supportestimated production | | 47,500 |
Fixed manufacturing overhead cost | $ | 266,000 |
Variable manufacturing overhead costper direct labor-hour | $ | 2.60 |
Variable manufacturing overhead costper machine-hour | $ | 5.20 |
|
During the year, Job 550 was started and completed. Thefollowing information is available with respect to this job:
| | |
Direct materials | $ | 273 |
Direct labor cost | $ | 237 |
Direct labor-hours | | 15 |
Machine-hours | | 5 |
|
Required:
1. Assume that Landen has historically used a plantwidepredetermined overhead rate with direct labor-hours as theallocation base. Under this approach:
a. Compute the plantwide predetermined overhead rate.
b. Compute the total manufacturing cost of Job 550.
c. If Landen uses a markup percentage of 200% of its totalmanufacturing cost, what selling price would it establish for Job550?
2. Assume that Landen’s controller believes that machine-hoursis a better allocation base than direct labor-hours. Under thisapproach:
a. Compute the plantwide predetermined overhead rate.
b. Compute the total manufacturing cost of Job 550.
c. If Landen uses a markup percentage of 200% of its totalmanufacturing cost, what selling price would it establish for Job550?
(Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimalplaces. Round your Predetermined Overhead Rate answers to 2 decimalplaces and all other answers to the nearest wholedollar.)
