Southwick Products manufactures its products in two separate​ departments: Machining and Assembly. Total manufacturing overhead

costs for the year are budgeted at $1,050,000. Of this​ amount, the Machining Department incurs $ 650,000 ​(primarily for machine operation and​ depreciation) while the Assembly Department incurs $400,000. The company estimates that it will incur 5,000 machine hours​ (all in the Machining​ Department) and 10,000 direct labor hours ​(2,000 in the Machining Department and 8,000 in the Assembly​ Department) during the year.
Southwick Products currently uses a plantwide overhead rate based on direct labor hours to allocate overhead.​ However, the company is considering refining its overhead allocation system by using departmental overhead rates. The Machining Department would allocate its overhead using machine hours​ (MH), but the Assembly Department would allocate its overhead using direct labor​ (DL) hours. The following chart shows the machine hours​ (MH) and direct labor​ (DL) hours incurred by Jobs 500 and 501 in each production​ department:


Machining Department Assembly Department

Job 500….10 MH 15 DL hours
2 DL hours

Job 501…..20 MH
2 DL hours 15 DL hours

Both Jobs 500 and 501 used $1 ,000 of direct materials. Wages and benefits total $30 per direct labor hour. Southwick Products prices its products at 120% of total manufacturing costs.

Requirement:
a. Compute the company's current plantwide overhead rate.
b. Compute refined departmental overhead rates.

Answer:

a. 105

b. For machining $130

For assembly $50

Explanation:

a. The computation of the company's current plant-wide overhead rate is shown below:-

Current plant-wide overhead rate = Total manufacturing overhead  ÷ Total direct labor hours

= $1,050,000 ÷ 10,000

= 105

b. The computation of refined departmental overhead rates is shown below:-

Departmental overhead cost = Overhead cost of department ÷ Cost driver of department

For machining  

= $650,000 ÷ 5,000

= $130

For Assembly

= $400,000 ÷ 8,000

= $50

Match each situation with the most appropriate process-based motivation theory that you would apply to it as a manager.
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

  • D (Mia realized that Jason was being overpaid) relates to Equity Theory.
  • B (Offering range of rewards) relates to Expectancy Theory.
  • A (Identifying causes of dissatisfaction) relates to Two Factor Theory.
  • C (Offering trips) relates to The Porter-Lawler Model.

Explanation:

Equity Theory: Equity theory says that employees are motivated by the amount of fair treatment they are getting in the company.

For example: A employee would be satisfied, if he is paid equal to the other employee, but will be dissatisfied if the other is overpaid despite the fact that both have the same position and qualification.

Expectancy Theory: It suggests that employees are motivated by the value of the rewards, the more the value will the more they will be motivated to work.

For example: Employee knows the worth of their own effort, and the reward they will get against those efforts should be worth it.

Two Factor Theory: Suggested by Hezberg, there are factors of satisfaction and dissatisfaction, he categorized them as, <em>Hygiene factors and Motivation factors. </em>So, it's necessary to identify them and fix them.

The porter - Lawler Model: It suggests that the motivation is caused by rewards.

For example: Company is offering high rewards which will increase the motivation of the employees.
