At the beginning of the year, Infodeo established its predetermined overhead rate for movies produced during the year by using the following cost predictions: overhead costs, $1,872,000,and direct labor costs, $480,000. At year-end, the company’s records show that actual overhead costs for the year are $1,369,300. Actual direct labor cost had been assigned to jobs as follows:

Movies completed and released $300,000
Movies still in production 54,000
Total actual direct labor cost $354,000

Required:
a. Determine the predetermined overhead rate for the year.
b. Prepare the adjusting entry to allocate any over- or underapplied overhead to Cost of Goods Sold.

Answer:

Part a.

$3.90 per direct labor cost

Part b.

Debit : Overheads $11,300

Credit : Cost of Sales $11,300

Explanation:

The predetermined overhead rate for the year.

predetermined overhead rate = Budgeted Overheads ÷ Budgeted Activities

therefore,

Predetermined overhead rate = $1,872,000 ÷ $480,000

                                                   = $3.90 per direct labor cost

The adjusting entry to allocate any over- or underapplied overhead to Cost of Goods Sold.

Step 1 : Overheads Applied Calculation

Overheads Applied = Predetermined overhead rate x actual labor costs

therefore,

Overheads Applied = $3.90 x $354,000 = $1,380,600

Step 2 : Over or Under Application of Overheads

Actual Overheads = $1,369,300

and

Overheads Applied = $1,380,600

therefore,

Over-applied overheads = $1,380,600 - $1,369,300 = $11,300

Step 3 : Journal entry

Reduce the cost of sales figure by the amount of Over-applied overheads

Debit : Overheads $11,300

Credit : Cost of Sales $11,300

All yearly government spending is broken up into two categories; Mandatory spending which is required by law and Discretionary spending which is spending that must be approved each year by Congress.

Mandatory spending is spending that is required by current law. Most federal mandatory spending is in the form of safety net and entitlement programs, including the Food Stamp program, Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare. Safety net programs represent “transfer payments” by which the government redistributes the income of the taxpayers by collecting taxes and providing services for those less fortunate and who do not provide any type of good or service in return. Entitlement expenditures include Medicaid and Social Security in which money that has been collected from taxpayers is then given back to those that contributed once they reach a certain age or meet other requirements. Other forms of mandatory spending include veterans benefits. For example, being a veteran means that you have already provided a service for which you were guaranteed, by law, certain benefits and payments (salary once you served your term/retirement, college benefits once you served your term, health insurance after you served your term, etc.). Because the law requires that these benefits be paid once the military personnel has served their term, these expenditures are mandatory and are automatically included in the US budget each year. The amount included for these expenditures is based on the number of citizens who “qualify” for these payments whether safety net, entitlement, or veteran benefits. Many other mandatory expenditures fall under the US budget. Over half of the entire US budget is mandatory which means that it cannot be changed without a change to the law.

About one-third of federal spending is Discretionary. This means that while this spending is for programs that are considered necessary to the operation of the US, they must be re-approved each year by Congress through a vote. The largest category of Discretionary spending is National Defense which must be approved each year. Other categories of Discretionary spending include education assistance, Interstate transportation programs, national parks, the Justice / Court system, and science, space, and technology research programs.

An appropriation is an Act which congress passes to approve discretionary spending. For example, one category of spending on education may be mandatory but congress may want to increase spending through an appropriation (or a special vote) which places the extra spending under the discretionary piece of the budget. One example of an appropriation that increased mandatory spending in the US annual budget is that of the Veteran’s Choice program. Veteran’s health benefits are required by law (they have served and part of their payment for serving is free health care after they retire). However, to receive their health benefits veterans have historically been required to utilize specific Doctors and hospitals. This is the law and therefore part of the mandatory budget. However, an appropriation was passed in 2019 which added extra funding to allow veterans to visit any Doctor they chose and be treated at any hospital of their choosing. The funding for this change is part of the discretionary budget and had to be approved by congress.
