The Gilster Company, a machine tooling firm, has several plants. One plant, located in St. Falls, Minnesota, uses a job order costing system for its batch production processes. The St. Falls plant has two departments through which most jobs pass. Plantwide overhead, which includes the plant manager's salary, accounting personnel, cafeteria, and human resources, is budgeted at $250,000. During the past year, actual plantwide overhead was $240,000. Each department's overhead consists primarily of depreciation and other machine-related expenses.

Selected budgeted and actual data from the St. Falls plant for the past year are as follows: Department A Department B Budgeted department overhead (excludes plantwide overhead) $ 162,000 $ 546,000 Actual department overhead 170,000 564,000 Expected activity: Direct labor hours 54,000 15,000 Machine-hours 12,000 52,000 Actual activity: Direct labor hours 55,500 14,000 Machine-hours 12,700 54,000 For the coming year, the accountants at St. Falls are in the process of helping the sales force create bids for several jobs. Projected data pertaining to job no. 110 are as follows: Direct materials $ 21,000 Direct labor cost: Department A (2,400 hr) 36,000 Department B (800 hr) 10,800 Machine-hours projected: Department A 160 Department B 1,200 Units produced 11,000 Book Links (6)references
