As part of her report, she wanted to compare the effects of plantwide rates and departmental rates on the cost of jobs. She wanted to know if overhead casting could be the source of the pricing problems the company was experiencing. 1,000 5,000 Producing Departments 4,000 To assess the effect of the different overhead assignment ocedures, Gisela decided to examine two prospective jobs. One job, Job A500, could produce 500 sofas, using a frequently requested style and Fabric F870. Bids on this type of job were being lost more frequently to competitors. The second job, Job 575, would produce 75 specially designed recliners. This job involved a new design and was more difficult for the workers to build. It involved some special cutting requirements and an unfamiliar assembly. Recently, the company seemed to be winning more bids on jobs of this type. To compute the costs of the two jobs, Gisela assembled the following information on the two jobs Job A500: Job 875: Direct materials: Fabric FB70 Lumber (No. 1 common) Other components Direct labor: Cutting Department Assembly Department Machine time: Cutting Department Assembly Department Direct materials: Fabric FB70 Lumber (first and seconds) Other components Direct labor: 180 bolts @ $350 20,000 board feet @ $0.12 $26,600 400 hours @ $10 1,600 hours $8.75 350 machine hours 50 machine hours 26 yards @ $350 2,200 board feet @ $0.12 $3,236 Job B75: Direct materials: Fabric FB70 Lumber (first and seconds) Other components Direct labor: Cutting Department Assembly Department Machine time: Cutting Department Assembly Department 26 yards @ $350 2,200 board feet @ $0.12 $3,236 70 hours @ $10 240 hours @ $8.75 90 machine hours. 15 machine hours. 9.

One job, Job A500, could produce 500 sofas, using a frequently requested style and Fabric F870. Bids on this type of job were being lost more frequently to competitors. The second job, Job 575, would produce 75 specially designed recliners. This job involved a new design and was more difficult for the workers to build.
