Exercise 15-5
Duggan Company applies manufacturing overhead to jobs on the basis of machine hours used. Overhead costs are expected to total $352,240 for the year, and machine usage is estimated at 125,800 hours.

For the year, $372,393 of overhead costs are incurred and 131,200 hours are used.

(a)

Compute the manufacturing overhead rate for the year. (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 1.25.)

The ledger of Custer Company has the following work in process account.
Work in Process—Painting
5/1     Balance     3,950      5/31    Transferred out    ?
5/31     Materials     5,850
5/31     Labor     4,620
5/31     Overhead     2,140
5/31     Balance     ?

Production records show that there were 570 units in the beginning inventory, 30% complete, 1,450 units started, and 1,520 units transferred out. The beginning work in process had materials cost of $2,260 and conversion costs of $1,690. The units in ending inventory were 40% complete. Materials are entered at the beginning of the painting process.

(a), (b) and (c)

(a) How many units are in process at May 31?

17-1
Wilkins Inc. has two types of handbags: standard and custom. The controller has decided to use a plantwide overhead rate based on direct labor costs. The president has heard of activity-based costing and wants to see how the results would differ if this system were used. Two activity cost pools were developed: machining and machine setup. Presented below is information related to the company’s operations.
Standard        Custom
Direct labor costs        $53,900        $113,000
Machine hours        1,490        1,460
Setup hours        98        400

Total estimated overhead costs are $305,500. Overhead cost allocated to the machining activity cost pool is $199,800, and $105,700 is allocated to the machine setup activity cost pool.

(a)

Compute the overhead rate using the traditional (plantwide) approach. (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 12.25%.)
