Speedy Auto Repairs uses a job-order costing system

Accounting May 21, 2021

Speedy Auto Repairs uses a job-order costing system. The company's direct materials consist of replacement parts installed in customer vehicles, and its direct labor consists of the mechanics' hourly wages. Speedy's overhead costs include various items, such as the shop manager's salary, depreciation of equipment, utilities, insurance, and magazine subscriptions and refreshments for the waiting room. 
The company applies all of its overhead costs to jobs based on direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the year, it made the following estimates: 
Direct labor-hours required to support estimated output Fixed overhead cost Variable overhead cost per direct labor-hour 
16,000 $ 168,000 $ 1.00 
Required: 1. Compute the predetermined overhead rate. 2. During the year, Mr. Wilkes brought in his vehicle to replace his brakes, spark plugs, and tires. The following information was available with respect to his job: 
Direct materials $ 622 Direct labor cost $ 229 Direct labor-hours used 6 
Compute Mr. Wilkes' total job cost. 
3. If Speedy establishes its selling prices using a markup percentage of 60% of its total job cost, then how much would it have charged Mr. Wilkes?

Expert Solution

Requirement 1    
Predetermined Overhead Rate:    
     
Fixed Overhead rate per DLH  =Fixed Overhead cost/ Direct labor hours
   = $168,000/16,000 DLH  
   = $10.50 per DLH  
     
Variable Overhead rate per DLH  = $ 1 per DLH  
     
Predetermined Overhead Rate  = $ 10.50 per DLH + $ 1 per DLH  
   = $11.500 per DLH  
     
Requirement 2    
    Amount ($)
Direct Materials   622
Direct labor   229
Overhead applied ( 6 DLH * 11.50 per DLH) 69
Total Cost assigned to Mr. Wilkes   920
     
Requirement 3
