O’Leary Corporation manufactures special purpose portable structures (huts, mobile offices, and so on) for use at construction sites. It only builds to order (each unit is built to customer specifications). O’Leary uses a normal job costing system. Direct labor at O’Leary is paid $30 per hour, but the employees are not paid if they are not working on jobs. Manufacturing overhead is assigned to jobs by a predetermined rate on the basis of direct labor-hours. The company incurred manufacturing overhead costs during two recent years (adjusted for price-level changes using current prices and wage rates) as follows.

- The cost accountant for M. Company wants to determine the cost of factory overhead. Based on observation and discussions with plant workers, you feel that five accounts are most relevant. Two are fixed- supervisory salaries and depreciation- and the remaining three are variable. Indirect labor is primarily used to move materials and varies with a number of moves. The largest component of utilities is electricity to run production machinery; which is driven by machine hours. Purchasing seems to be driven by the number of purchase orders. The accounts and their balances for the past six months are shown below: Indirect Plant and Labor Supervisory Equipment Cost Utilities Purchasing Salaries Depreciation July $14,250 $12,000 $38,200 $20,000 $6,500 Aug 15,800 10,600 35,400 23,000…arrow_forward"Blast It!" sald David Wilson, president of Teledex Company.
