18. 13-18 THE JOB Raw material Direct labor Traced directly to each job Manufacturing overhead (OH) Applied to each job using a predetermined rate Cost Accounting Systems L O 5

19. 13-19 Estimated total manufacturing overhead cost for the coming period Estimated total units in the allocation base for the coming period POHR = The predetermined overhead rate (POHR) used to apply overhead to jobs is determined before the period begins. Ideally, the allocation base is a cost driver that causes overhead. Cost Accounting Systems L O 6

20. 13-20 Overhead applied = POHR × Actual activity Actual amount of the cost driver such as units produced, direct labor hours, or machine hours incurred during the period. Based on estimates, and determined before the period begins. Cost Accounting Systems L O 6

21. 13-21 Cruisers, Inc., applies overhead based on direct labor hours. Total estimated overhead for the year is $4,200,000. Total estimated labor hours are 300,000. What is Cruisers’ predetermined overhead rate? Cost Accounting Systems L O 6

22. 13-22 For each direct labor hour worked on a job, $14.00 of factory overhead will be applied to the job. POHR = $14.00 per DLH $4,200,000 300,000 direct labor hours (DLH) POHR = Estimated total manufacturing overhead cost for the coming period Estimated total units in the allocation base for the coming period POHR = Cost Accounting Systems L O 6

26. 13-26 Cost Accounting Systems Cruisers’ actual overhead for the year was $4,250,000 for a total of 310,000 direct labor hours. How much total overhead was applied to Cruisers’ jobs during the year? Use Cruisers’ predetermined overhead rate of $14.00 per direct labor hour. L O 6

27. 13-27 Cruisers’ actual overhead for the year was $4,250,000 for a total of 310,000 direct labor hours. How much total overhead was applied to Cruisers’ jobs during the year? Use Cruisers’ predetermined overhead rate of $14.00 per direct labor hour. Cost Accounting Systems SOLUTION Applied Overhead = POHR × Actual Direct Labor Hours Applied Overhead = $14.00 per DLH × 310,000 DLH = $4,340,000 L O 6

Use Cruisers’ predetermined overhead rate of $13.00 per direct labor hour. Cost Accounting Systems SOLUTION Applied Overhead = POHR × Actual Direct Labor Hours Applied Overhead = $14.00 per DLH × 310,000 DLH = $4,340,000 Applied Overhead $4,340,000 Actual Overhead $4,250,000 Overapplied by $90,000 Overhead has been overapplied for the year.

42. 13-42 Process Costing Job Order Costing  Costs are accumulated by job.  Used for production of large, unique, high-cost items.  Built to order rather than mass produced.  Many costs can be directly traced to each job. Cost Accounting Systems - Absorption L O 8

48. 13-48 Fixed costs are not really the costs of any particular product. Variable Costing Absorption Costing All manufacturing costs must be assigned to products to properly match revenues and costs. Absorption and Variable Costing L O 8

49. 13-49 Absorption Costing These are capacity costs and will be incurred even if nothing is produced. Variable Costing Depreciation, taxes, insurance and salaries are just as essential to products as variable costs. Absorption and Variable Costing L O 8

52. 13-52 One of the most difficult tasks in computing accurate unit costs lies in determining the proper amount of overhead cost that should be assigned to each job. Assigning overhead is difficult. I agree! Activity-Based Costing (ABC) L O 9

56. 13-56  More detailed measures of costs.  Better understanding of activities.  More accurate product costs for... –Pricing decisions. –Product elimination decisions. –Managing activities that cause costs.  Benefits should always be compared to costs of implementation. The Benefits of ABC L O 9

57. 13-57 Most cost drivers are related to either volume or complexity of production. Examples: machine time, machine setups, purchase orders, production orders. Three factors are considered in choosing a cost driver: Causal relationship. Benefits received. Reasonableness. Identifying Cost Drivers L O 9

58. 13-58 Overhead Actual Rate Activity × Rate = Estimated overhead costs in activity cost pool Estimated number of activity units 1. Identify activities that consume resources. 2. Assign costs to a cost pool for each activity. 3. Identify cost drivers associated with each activity. 4. Compute overhead rate for each cost pool: 5. Assign costs to products: Activity-Based Costing Procedures L O 9

59. 13-59 Let’s look at an example comparing traditional costing with ABC. We will start with traditional costing. Activity-Based Costing L O 9

60. 13-60 Cruisers, Inc. manufactures sailboats and canoes. Overhead is applied at the rate of $14 per direct labor hour. Production for May was 100 sailboats requiring 24,000 hours, and 1,000 canoes requiring 13,000 hours. Overhead applied using traditional costing is: Traditional Costing vs. ABC L O 9

61. 13-61 Activity-Based Costing Same amount of annual total overhead used earlier in the chapter. Cruisers plans to adopt activity-based costing and identifies these activities and costs for computing overhead rates. L O 9

62. 13-62 Using the following activity center data, determine the amount of overhead applied to the two products using activity-based costing. Activity-Based Costing L O 9

63. 13-63 Activity-Based Costing Let’s complete the table. L O 9

64. 13-64 Activity-Based Costing L O 9

65. 13-65 This result is not uncommon when activity-based costing is used. Many companies have found that lower volume, more complex products have greater overhead costs than previously realized. Activity-Based Costing L O 9
