These are not a problem. We can directly trace these to the product. The problem lies here - in the manufacturing overhead. Direct Materials Direct Labor Work-in- Process Finished Goods Cost-of Goods Sold Mfg. Overhead
Peanut-butter costing describes a cost approach that uniformly assigns (“spreads” or “smooths out”) the cost of resources to cost objects. When, in fact, the individual product, services, etc., may use those resources in a nonuniform way.

Let’s take a closer look at calculating the predetermined overhead rate (POR)

Exercise 4-2 Plantwide Rates; Overhead Variance
Brooks Manufacturing uses a normal costing system. Budgeted overhead for the coming year is $1,500,000. Expected actual activity is 400,000 direct labor hours. During the year, Brooks worked a total of 384,000 direct labor hours and actual overhead totaled $1,400,000.
Required: • Compute the POR for Brooks Manufacturing. • Compute the applied overhead. • Compute the overhead variance and label it as underapplied or overapplied. • Explain why predetermined rates are used.
Summary of Overhead Concepts The amount of estimated overhead costs. Estimated Overhead Cost The amount of overhead costs actually incurred. Actual Overhead Cost The amount of overhead costs applied to WIP. Applied Overhead Cost

Manufacturing Costs Balance Sheet Unused DM Inv. DM Directly Traced Used Used Unfinished WIP WIP Inv. DL Applied Finished FG Inv. MOH Overhead is applied by multiplying the number of direct labor hours actually worked times the predetermined overhead rate (POR). 384,000 x $3.75 = $1,440,000
Required: • Compute the POR for Brooks Manufacturing. • Compute the applied overhead. • Compute the overhead variance and label it as underapplied or overapplied. • Explain why predetermined rates are used.

Refining a Cost System • Reclassify indirect costs as direct costs. • Define more cost pools. • Identify cost drivers. • Use Activity-Based Costing.

Exercise 4-8 Activity Vs. Plantwide OH Rates; Resource Drivers; Activity Drivers;
Milan Machining Company has identified the following OH activities, costs, and activity drivers for the coming year:
The company produces several different machine subassemblies used by other manufacturers. Information on separate batches for two of these subassemblies follows:
The company’s normal activity is 4,000 direct labor hours. • Each batch uses 50 hours of direct labor.
Required: • Determine the unit cost for each product using direct labor hours to apply overhead. This is an FBC approach. DLH is a Unit-Level Driver.
Calculate the POR using DLH. Normal Activity in DLH POR=$220,000/4,000 = $55 / DLH
Each batch uses 50 DLH Remember . . . This is FBC!
Each batch uses 50 DLH We assume that products consume OH in the same proportions.
Required: • Determine the unit cost for each product using the four activity drivers. i.e., Let's use ABC
