White Company has two departments, Cutting and Finishing. The company uses a job-order costing system and computes a predetermin

ed overhead rate in each department. The Cutting Department bases its rate on machine-hours, and the Finishing Department bases its rate on direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the year, the company made the following estimates:
Department

Direct labor-hours . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6,000 30,000

Variable manufacturing overhead per direct labor-hour . . . . . — $4.00
1. Compute the predetermined overhead rate to be used in each department.
2. Assume that the overhead rates that you computed in (1) above are in effect. The job cost sheet for Job 203, which was started and completed during the year, showed the following:

Department

Direct labor-hours . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6 20

Required:
Compute the total manufacturing cost assigned to Job 203. 3. Would you expect substantially different amounts of overhead cost to be assigned to some jobs if the company used a plantwide overhead rate based on direct labor-hours, rather than using departmental rates? Explain. No computations are necessary.

Question not complete

Direct Labour Cost is missing

Direct Labor Cost ----- $50,000.00 $270,000.00

Answer:

a.

Overhead Rate (Cutting Department) = $5.5 per machine hour = $5.5 per machine hour

Overhead Rate (Finishing Department) = $12.2 per labour hour

b. Total Manufacturing Cost = $644

c. Yes

Explanation:

a. To determine the predetermined overhead rate appropriate for each department.

Given

Cutting Department

The Cutting Department calculates its rate based on machine-hours

Manufacturing Overhead Costs = $264,000

Machine Hours = 48,000

Finishing Department

For the Finishing Department, the rate is calculated based on direct labor-hours.

Manufacturing Overhead Costs = $366,000

Direct Labour Cost = $270,000

Overhead Rate (Cutting Department) = Manufacturing Overhead Cost/Machine Hours

Overhead Rate (Cutting Department) = $264,000/48,000

Overhead Rate (Cutting Department) = $5.5 per machine hour

Overhead Rate (Finishing Department) = Manufacturing Overhead Cost/Machine Hours

Overhead Rate (Finishing Department) = $366,000/$270,000

Overhead Rate (Finishing Department) = 1.36

Overhead Rate (Finishing Department) = 136% direct labour cost

b.

The Cutting Department's rate is based on machine-hours

Given

Machine hours = 80 machine hours

Overhead Rate = $5.5 per machine hours ------ This was calculated

The Finishing Department's calculations rely on direct labor-hours.

Given

Direct Labour Cost = 150

Overhead Rate = 136% of labor cost ------ This was deduced

Overhead Applied (Cutting Department) = 80 * 5.5

Overhead Applied = 440

Overhead Applied (Finishing Department) = 136% * 150

Overhead Applied = $204

Total Overhead Applied = $440 + $204

Total = $644

c. Yes

If the business utilizes a company-wide overhead rate linked to direct labor cost and if jobs have increased machine hours paired with lower labor costs, they would incur less overhead expenses.

Which of the following statements concerning the cash budget is CORRECT? a. Depreciation expense is not explicitly included, but
marusya05 [3422]

Answer:

a. The depreciation expense isn't separately listed, but its influences are shown in the projected tax payments.

Explanation:

The cash budget reflects all cash transactions, both receipts and payments

It includes interest and dividend disbursements, indicating cash outflows when payments are made in cash

Additionally, it impacts the Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) and encompasses cash inflows related to long-term sources such as bond issuance

However, since depreciation is a non-cash expense, it's not explicitly accounted for, but its impact is included in tax payment projections

Mart's Boutique has sales of $820,000 and costs of $540,000. Interest expense is $36,000 and depreciation is $59,000. The tax ra
Mariulka [3449]

Answer:

$146,150.00

Explanation:

Net income is calculated after taxes.

Here,

Sales = $820,000.00

Less: Expenses = -$540,000.00

Gross profit = $280,000.00

Less: Financial Expenses

Interest = -$36,000.00

Depreciation = -$59,000.00

Net profit before tax = $185,000.00

Less: Tax at 21% of $185,000.00 = - $38,850.00

Net Income (after taxes) = $146,150

Net income is always determined after accounting for tax.

$146,150.00

Scilla [3549]

Answer: Individual aspirations and compatibility with the team.

Being a student means I don't have much relevant experience to share during job interviews.
