Flashcards

Cost-allocation base (Machining)

The factor used to assign overhead costs to products in the machining department. In Enriquez Machine Parts Company, it's machine hours.

Budgeted overhead application rates

Estimated rates used to apply overhead costs to products. They are based on anticipated costs, not actual costs.

Overhead application (Machining)

Calculating the overhead cost assigned to a specific product in the machining department by multiplying actual machine hours by budgeted overhead rates.

Overhead applied (Machining example)

$44. This is the overhead cost assigned to a product using 8 machine hours in machining.

Study Notes

Budgeted Overhead Application Rates

  • Overhead rates are budgeted, meaning they are estimates used to apply overhead based on actual events.
  • Budgeted overhead application rate = Total budgeted Factory overhead / Total budgeted Amount of cost driver.

Illustration of Overhead Application

  • Enriquez Machine Parts Company uses a single cost-allocation method in each department for applying overhead.
  • In machining, the cost-allocation method is machine hours (MH).
  • In assembly, the cost-allocation method is direct-labor cost (LC).
  • Total overhead applied to a product = Budgeted overhead rates x Actual machine hours (MH) or labor cost (LC) used by that product.
  • Example: Apply $44 of overhead to a product that uses 6 MH in machining and incurs direct-labor cost of $40 in assembly.
    • Machining: 6 actual MH x $4 per MH = $24
    • Assembly: $40 of DL cost x 50% = $20
    • Total overhead = $24 + $20 = $44

Application of Overhead to Departments

  • If Enriquez had used 70,000 machine hours in Machining, overhead applied to Machining = 70,000 MH x $4 per MH = $280,000.
  • If Enriquez had incurred $190,000 in direct labor cost, overhead applied to Assembly = $190,000 x 50% = $95,000.
