White Company has two departments, Cutting and Finishing. The company uses a job-order costing system and computes a predetermined 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
Cutting Finishing
Direct labor-hours 7,700 43,000
Machine-hours 43,400 1,900
Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost $390,000 $496,000
Variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour 2.00
Variable manufacturing overhead per direct labor-hour $3.75
Required:
1. Compute the predetermined overhead rate for each department.
2. The job cost sheet for Job 203, which was started and completed during the year, showed the following:

Department
Cutting Finishing
Direct labor-hours 3 13
Machine-hours 43 4
Direct materials 745 370
Direct labor costs 43 210
Using the pre-determined overhead rates that you computed in requirement 1, compute the total manufacturing overhead cost assigned to Job 203.
3. Wouid you expect substantially different amounts of overhead cost to be assigned to some jobs if the company used a plantwide pre-determined overhead rate, based on direct labor hours rather than using departmental rates?

Special order carson manufacturing, inc., sells a single product for $36 per unit. at an operating level of 8,000 units, variable costs are $18 per unit and fixed costs $10 per unit. carson has been offered a price of $20 per unit on a special order of 2,000 units by big mart discount stores, which would use its own brand name on the item. if carson accepts the order, material cost will be $3 less per unit than for regular production. however, special stamping equipment costing $4,000 would be needed to process the order; the equipment would then be discarded. assuming that volume remains within the relevant range, prepare an analysis of differential revenue and costs to determine whether carson should accept the special order. use a negative sign with answer to only indicate an income loss from special order; otherwise do not use negative signs with your answers.
