The direct labor rate for Brent Corporation is $9.00 per hour, and manufacturing overhead is applied to products using a predetermined overhead rate of $6.00 per direct labor-hour. During May, the company purchased $60,000 in raw materials (all direct materials) and worked 3,200 direct labor-hours. The Raw Materials Inventory (all direct materials) decreased by $3,000 between the beginning and end of May. The Work in Process Inventory on May 1 consisted of one job which had been charged with $4,000 in direct materials and on which 300 hours of direct labor time had been worked. There was no Work in Process Inventory on May 31.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW


The cost of goods sold per shirt if Job PS4 consisted of 5,000 shirts equates to $8.20 / shirt. The calculation to solve the problem is:
[DM ($27,400) + DL ($9,600) + MOH allocated ($25 x 160 MHR)]/ 5,000 shirts
= [$27,400 + $9,600 + $4,000]/5,000
= $41,000/5000 = $8.20/shirt
The other answers are incorrect.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW


If overhead was underallocated by $2,500 during May, the actual overhead cost for the month must have been $21,700. The formula to compute the actual overhead cost is: Underallocated (overallocated) manufacturing overhead = Actual manufacturing overhead − Manufacturing overhead allocated.
$2,500 = Actual manufacturing overhead − ($6.00 per direct labor-hour × 3,200 direct labor-hours)
Actual manufacturing overhead = $2,500 + ($6.00 per direct labor-hour × 3,200 direct labor-hours)
Actual Manufacturing Overhead = $2,500 + $19,200 = $21,700.

The construction industry is most likely to use the job costing method. Job costing is used for industries that produce unique, custom-ordered products, or relatively small batches of different products. The construction industry produces uniquely designed or custom-ordered buildings. The oil refining, food production, and chemical processing industries typically mass-produce similar products. This is a characteristic of the process costing method.

QUESTION

   
Which of the following represents a TRUE statement about the flow of inventory through a manufacturing system?

ANSWER

Correct
·       
Raw Materials (RM) inventory should always be a component of finished goods (FG) because they are only stored for a short period prior to use in the factory.
·       
Raw materials (RM) consist of materials that a manager never inventories, since raw material includes a component of work in process in the factory.
·       
YOU WERE SURE AND CORRECT
Raw materials (RM) inventory includes material maintained in storerooms at or near the factory until the manager moves those materials to production.
·       
Raw materials consist of raw materials (RM) inventory even when those materials are in process in the factory.

Managers use which of the following calculations to find the predetermined manufacturing overhead (MOH)?

ANSWER

INCORRECT
·       
Total estimated manufacturing overhead costs / Total actual amount of the allocation base
·       
Total actual manufacturing overhead costs / Total actual amount of the allocation base.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW


The predetermined MOH rate calculation is total estimated manufacturing overhead costs / total estimated amount of the allocation base.

Managers use the rate during the year. Managers do not revise the MOH rate unless the company finds that either the manufacturing overhead costs or the total amount of the allocation base used in the factory shifts away from the estimated amounts. Managers that experience shifts from the estimated amount may revise the rate during the year.

Underallocated manufacturing overhead means the ________.

ANSWER

INCORRECT
·       
estimated manufacturing overhead cost was greater than the allocated manufacturing overhead cost
·       
YOU WERE SURE AND INCORRECT
allocated manufacturing overhead cost was greater than the actual manufacturing overhead cost

Chelsea, Inc. uses the job costing method and uses direct labor hours as the allocation base. In 2016, the total estimated and actual overhead costs for Job 3489 were $250,000 and $275,000, respectively. The total estimated and actual direct labor hours for Job 3489 were 25,000 and 28,000, respectively.

$280,000
·       
I DON'T KNOW YET

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW


The amount of MOH allocated to Job 3489 is $280,000. The company calculates its predetermined manufacturing overhead (MOH) rate as follows:
Predetermined MOH rate = Total estimated manufacturing overhead costs / Total estimated amount of the allocation base
= $250,000 / 25,000 DLH
= $10

Next, the company applies the MOH to the job as follows:
MOH allocated to job = Predetermined MOH rate × Actual amount of allocation base used by the job
= $10 × 28,000 DLH
= $280,000

The other answer choices are not correct.
