Mansfield Corporation estimates its manufacturing overhead costs to be $160,000 and its direct labor costs to be $320,000 for 2019. The actual manufacturing labor costs were $80,000 for job 1, $120,000 for job 2 and $160,000 for job 3 during 2019. Manufacturing overhead is applied to jobs on the basis of direct labor costs using a predetermined overhead rate. The actual manufacturing overhead cost for the year was $172,000.
6. The amount of overhead assigned to Job 3 during 2007
was:
a. $80,000
b. $320,000
c. $160,000
d. $71,110
7. The amount of the manufacturing overhead variance during 2019
was:
a. $8,000 Overapplied
b. $12,000 Overapplied
c. 12,000 Underapplied
d. $8,000 Underapplied
6. Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated manufacturing overhead costs / estimated direct labor costs
= $160000/320000 = $0.50
overhead assigned to Job 3 = actual manufacturing labor costs*Predetermined overhead rate
= $160000*0.50
= $80000
Option a. is correct answer.
7. Total actual manufacturing labor costs = $80000+120000+160000 = $320,000
manufacturing overhead variance = Actual manufacturing overhead - Applied manufacturing overhead variance
= $172000-320000*0.50
= $12000 Underapplied
Option c. is correct answer.
