59. Abel Company's manufacturing overhead is 20% of its total conversion costs. If direct labor is $38,000 and if direct materials are $47,000, the manufacturing overhead is:
A) $152,000
B) $11,750
C) $21,250
D) $9,500
Ans: D
Solution:
Conversion costs = Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead
Conversion costs = $38,000 + Manufacturing overhead
0.20 × Conversion costs = Manufacturing overhead
0.20 × ($38,000 + Manufacturing overhead) = Manufacturing overhead
$7,600 + 0.20 × Manufacturing overhead = Manufacturing overhead
$7,600 = 0.80 × Manufacturing overhead
Manufacturing overhead = $9,500
60. During the month of July, direct labor cost totaled $12,000 and direct labor cost was 30% of prime cost. If total manufacturing costs during July were $86,000, the manufacturing overhead was:
A) $46,000
B) $40,000
C) $28,000
D) $74,000
Ans: A
Solution:
0.30 × Prime cost = Direct labor
0.30 × Prime cost = $12,000
Prime cost = $40,000
Prime cost = Direct materials + Direct labor
$40,000 = Direct materials + $12,000
Direct materials = $28,000

A) $22,667
B) $15,333
C) $51,000
D) $34,500
Ans: A
Solution:
0.40 × Conversion costs = Direct labor
0.60 × Conversion costs = Manufacturing overhead
0.60 × Conversion costs = $34,000
Conversion costs = $56,667
Conversion costs = Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead
$56,667 = Direct labor + $34,000

80. During the month of April, LTP Company incurred $30,000 of manufacturing overhead, $40,000 of direct labor, and purchased $25,000 of raw materials. Between the beginning and the end of the month, the raw materials and work in process inventories decreased by $4,000 and $3,000, respectively. The total manufacturing costs used in the computation of cost of goods manufactured during the month of April was:
A) $88,000
B) $91,000
C) $99,000
D) $102,000
Ans: C
Solution:
First calculate raw materials used:
Beginning inventory raw materials
+
Purchases
?
Ending inventory raw materials
=
Raw materials used
By rearranging:
Purchases
+ (
Beginning inventory raw materials
?
Ending inventory raw materials
) =
Raw materials used
Since raw material inventory decreased by $4,000, we know that:
Beginning inventory raw materials ? Ending inventory raw materials = $4,000
Substituting into equation:
$25,000 + $4,000 = Raw materials used
$29,000 = Raw materials used
Next, solve for total manufacturing costs:
Raw materials used
+
Direct labor
+
Manufacturing overhead
=
Total manufacturing costs
$29,000
+
$40,000
+
$30,000
=
$99,000

91. During the last week in October, Harvey worked a total of 45 hours and had no idle time. Harvey is paid $10 per hour for regular time, and is paid time-and-a-half for all hours in excess of 35 hours per week. Given this information:
A) $350 should be charged to direct labor
B) $50 should be charged to manufacturing overhead
C) $150 should be charged to manufacturing overhead
D) $500 should be charged to direct labor.
Ans: B
Solution:
Overtime premium = $5
$10 × 1.5 = $15 overtime rate
$15 overtime rate ? $10 regular rate = $5 overtime premium
Total hours ? Regular work week hours = Overtime hours
45 ? 35 = 10
10 hours × $5 per hour = $50 amount to be charged to manufacturing overhead
92. Sandra Pietro installs mufflers at Dethtrapp Motorcycle Company. Sandra is paid $14 per hour and an extra $7 per hour for every hour over 40 that is worked in a given week. Last week Sandra worked 50 hours with 2 of these hours correctly classified as idle time. How much of Sandra's wages last week should be included in manufacturing overhead cost?
A) $28
B) $70
C) $98
D) $168
Ans: C
Solution:
Overtime premium charged to manufacturing overhead:
(50 total hours ? 40 regular hours) × $7 overtime premium = $70
2 hours of idle time × $14 per hour = $28
Total wages to be included in manufacturing overhead = $70 + $28 = $98

Use the following to answer questions 181-183:
Dominik Corporation purchased a machine 5 years ago for $527,000 when it launched product M08Y. Unfortunately, this machine has broken down and cannot be repaired. The machine could be replaced by a new model 310 machine costing $545,000 or by a new model 240 machine costing $450,000. Management has decided to buy the model 240 machine. It has less capacity than the model 310 machine, but its capacity is sufficient to continue making product M08Y. Management also considered, but rejected, the alternative of dropping product M08Y and not replacing the old machine. If that were done, the $450,000 invested in the new machine could instead have been invested in a project that would have returned a total of $532,000.

212. Mary Tappin, an assistant Vice President at Galaxy Toys, was disturbed to find on her desk a memo from her boss, Gary Resnick, to the controller of the company. The memo appears below:
Galaxy Toys Internal Memo
Sept 15
To: Harry Wilson, Controller
Fm: Gary Resnick, Executive Vice President
As you know, we won't start recording many sales until October when stores start accepting shipments from us for the Christmas season. Meanwhile, we are producing flat-out and are building up our finished goods inventories so that we will be ready to ship next month.
Unfortunately, we are in a bind right now since it looks like the net income for the quarter ending on Sept 30 is going to be pretty awful. This may get us in trouble with the bank since they always review the quarterly financial reports and may call in our loan if they don't like what they see. Is there any possibility that we could change the classification of some of our period costs to product costs--such as the rent on the finished goods warehouse?
Please let me know as soon as possible. The President is pushing for results.
Mary didn't know what to do about the memo. It wasn't intended for her, but its contents were alarming.
Required:
Why has Gary Resnick suggested reclassifying some period costs as product costs?
Why do you think Mary was alarmed about the memo?
Ans:
Gary Resnick has suggested reclassifying some period costs as product costs since the company is building up large finished goods inventories in anticipation of the Christmas selling season. Product costs are inventoried and flow through to the income statement only when products are sold. Period expenses, in contrast, flow directly to the income statement. Since most of the finished goods inventories will be held over to the next quarter, reclassifying period costs as product costs will effectively defer recognition of expenses until next quarter and therefore will improve the current quarter's net operating income.
Mary Tappin is probably alarmed by both the economic situation the company finds itself in and by the apparent willingness of top management to bend the rules. Improperly reclassifying costs is an indication that top management does not feel like it has to play by the rules or be honest in its dealings with the bank. With such loose ethical standards, Mary may wonder what other things they are doing that are unethical and/or illegal.
