Required:

1. Compute the company's predetermined overhead rate for the year and the amount of underapplied or overapplied overhead for the year.

Paper For Above Instructions

In addressing the group case study for ACC 601 Managerial Accounting, we will analyze various costing methods relevant to manufacturing organizations. This analysis will encompass Cost of Goods Manufactured (COGM) and Cost of Goods Sold (COGS), job order costing, process costing with both weighted average and FIFO methods, and activity-based costing. Each section will illustrate the calculations, reasoning, and managerial implications associated with each costing approach.

Part A: Schedules of Cost of Goods Manufactured and Cost of Goods Sold

To prepare the Schedule of Cost of Goods Manufactured for Nish Corporation, we will start by determining the total cost of production during April. The costs include direct materials used, direct labor costs, and manufacturing overhead costs.

Schedule of Cost of Goods Manufactured for April

• Beginning Raw Materials Inventory: $26,000
• Add: Raw Materials Purchases: $50,000
• Less: Ending Raw Materials Inventory: $35,000
• Raw Materials Used: $41,000
• Add: Direct Labor: $23,000
• Add: Manufacturing Overhead: $59,000
• Total Manufacturing Costs: $123,000
• Add: Beginning Work in Process Inventory: $18,000
• Less: Ending Work in Process Inventory: $22,000
• Cost of Goods Manufactured: $119,000

Next, we calculate the Income Statement for April using the sales, costs, and expenses provided.

Income Statement for April

• Sales: $220,000
• Less: Cost of Goods Sold: $119,000
• Gross Profit: $101,000
• Less: Selling Expense: $18,000
• Less: Administrative Expense: $43,000
• Net Operating Income: $40,000

Part B: Job Order Costing

For Scanlon Company, we compute the predetermined overhead rate using the estimated machine-hours and overhead costs:

Predetermined Overhead Rate = Estimated Manufacturing Overhead / Estimated Machine-hours

= $1,710,000 / 95,000 = $18 per machine-hour

Now, we recognize the amount of underapplied or overapplied overhead based on actual costs:

Actual Overhead: $1,687,500

Applied Overhead: $759,375

Since the applied overhead is less than the actual overhead, we have underapplied overhead:

Underapplied Overhead: $1,687,500 - $1,710,000 = $22,500

To affect net operating income, we would allocate this overhead appropriately for reporting: Underapplied overhead leads to a decrease in net income when recognized in the income statement.

Part C: Weighted Average Process Costing

To determine the equivalent units of production:

Calculation of Equivalent Units

• Units Completed: 22,200 + (1,000 * 80%) = 22,800 (for materials)
• (1,000 * 60%) = 600 (for conversion)
• Total Equivalent Units for Material: 22,800
• Total Equivalent Units for Conversion: 22,800 (Completed) + 600 = 23,400

Next, we calculate costs per equivalent unit:

Cost per Equivalent Unit

• Materials: (Beginning + Added) / Total Equivalent Units, = ($8,400 + $97,400) / 22,800 = $4.65
• Conversion: ($7,200 + $129,600) / 23,400 = $5.80

The cost of ending work in process inventory is computed as:

Ending WIP Inventory Cost = (1,000 80% $4.65) + (1,000 60% $5.80)

= $3,720 + $3,480 = $7,200

Cost transferred to next department = (22,200 material cost per unit) + (22,200 conversion cost per unit)

= 22,200 $4.65 + 22,200 $5.80 = $102,870 + $128,760 = $231,630

Part D: FIFO Process Costing

For the FIFO system, determine costs of units completed:

Cost of completed units = (Cost of beginning * % completed) + (Cost of units started this month).

Ending WIP cost can be calculated using the percentage of completion of remaining inventory.

Part E: Activity-Based Costing

Finally, under the traditional costing system, we calculate manufacturing overhead cost per unit:

Traditional Overhead Cost per Unit

• H16Z: Overhead per unit = Total Overhead / Total Units Produced = $1,464,480 / 40,000 = $36.61
• P25P: Same calculation results in the same overhead allocated based on usage.

Under activity-based costing (ABC), recalculate costs based on the specific activities to provide a more accurate cost assessment.

Conclusion

The examination of different costing methodologies illustrates the variations in managing operational efficiency in manufacturing. Understanding these concepts allows organizations to make informed decisions regarding pricing, budgeting, and optimizing resource allocations.
