Phann Corporation manufactures one product. It does not maintain any beginning or ending Work
in Process inventories. The company uses a standard cost system in which inventories are recorded
at their standard costs and any variances are closed directly to Cost of Goods Sold. There is no
variable manufacturing overhead. The standard cost card for the company’s only product is as
follows:
Standard
Quantity
or Hours
Fixed manufacturing overhead
Total standard cost per unit
The standard fixed manufacturing overhead rate was based on budgeted fixed manufacturing
overhead of $90,000 and budgeted activity of 7,500 hours.
During the year, the company completed the following transactions:
a. Purchased 59,000 kilos of raw material at a price of $9.20 per kilo.
b. Used 51,340 kilos of the raw material to produce 18,300 units of work in process.
c. Assigned direct labor costs to work in process. The direct labor workers (who were paid in cash)
worked 8,850 hours at an average cost of $23.70 per hour.
d. Applied fixed overhead to the 18,300 units in work in process inventory using the predetermined
overhead rate multiplied by the number of direct labor-hours allowed. Actual fixed overhead costs
for the year were $79,400. Of this total, $22,400 related to items such as insurance, utilities, and
indirect labor salaries that were all paid in cash and $57,000 related to depreciation of
manufacturing equipment.
