COST ACCOUNTING AND CONTROL

ACTIVITY 2- FINALS(MANUFACTURING OVERHEAD: ACTUAL AND APPLIED)

1. Rolex Corporation estimates that its production for the coming year will be 10,000 units, which is
80% of normal capacity, with the following unit costs:

Materials P40
Direct Labor P60

Direct labor is paid at the rate of P24 per hour. The machine should be run for 20 minutes to
produce one unit. Total estimated overhead is expected to consist of P400,000 for variable
overhead and P400,000 for fixed overhead.

What is the predetermined overhead rate base on units of production, using the expected actual
capacity activity level?

a. P80 per unit

b. P75 per unit

c. P65 per unit

d. P85 per unit

Solution:

₱ 400, 000 + ₱ 400, 000 = ₱ 800, 000

₱ 800, 000 / 10, 000 units = ₱ 80 per unit

2. Using the data in No. 1, what is the predetermined overhead rate based on material cost?

a. 200%

b. 150%

c. 250%

d. 300%
Solution:
₱ 800, 000 / ₱ 400, 000 = 200% of material cost
3. Using the data in No. 1, what is the predetermined overhead rate base on direct labor cost?

a. 133%

b. 153%

c. 166%

d. 113%
Solution:
₱ 800, 000 / 600, 000 = 133% of direct labor cost

4. Using the data in no. 1, what is the predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor hours?

a. P32 per direct labor hour

 b. P35 per direct labor hour

c. P40 per direct labor hour

d. P45 per direct labor hour

Solution:
₱ 800, 000 / 25, 000 = ₱ 32 per direct labor
₱ 600, 000 / ₱ 24 = 25, 000 estimated direct labor

5. Using the data in No. 1, what is the predetermined overhead rate based on machine hours?

a. P2.40 per machine hour

b. P3.00 per machine hour

c. P3.50 per machine hour

d. P4.00 per machine hour

Solution:

₱ 800, 000 / 3.333* =₱ 2. 40 per machine hour

20 minutes / 60 minutes = 1/3 machine hour per unit

1/3 hour per unit x 10, 000 units = 3.333 estimated machine hours

6. Using the data in No. 1, what is the overhead rate based on units of production using the normal
capacity activity level?

a. P64 per unit

b. P70 per unit

c. P75 per unit

d. P80 per unit

Solution:
₱ 800, 000 / 12, 5000 units = ₱ 64 overhead per unit
10, 000 units / 80% = 12, 500 units

7. Using the data in No. 1 what is the overhead rate based on material cost using the normal capacity
activity level?

a. 160%

b. 155%

c. 165%

d. 200%
Solution:
₱ 800, 000 / ₱ 500,000 = 160% of material cost
₱ 40 x 12, 500 units = 500, 000
 8. Using the data in No. 1, what is the overhead rate based on machine hours using the normal
capacity activity level?

a. P92

b. P85

c. P75

d. P60

Solution :

₱ 800, 000 / (1/3 hour x 12, 500) = ₱ 92 per machine
