Question 1: Job Costing (10 marks)
The Designhill Company uses a normal job-costing system at its Melbourne plant. The plant has a machining
department and an assembly department. Its job-costing system has two direct-cost categories (direct materials
and direct manufacturing labour) and two manufacturing overhead cost pools (the machining department with
machine hours as the allocation base, and the assembly department with direct manufacturing labour costs as
the allocation base).
The 2020 budget for the plant were as follows:
Machining
Department
Assembly
Department
Manufacturing overhead $1,800,000 $3,600,000
Direct manufacturing labour costs $1,400,000 $2,000,000
Direct manufacturing labour-hours 100,000 200,000
Machine-hours 50,000 220,000
Required:
1) What is the estimated overhead rate that should be used in the:
a. Machining Department (2 mark)
b. Assembly Department (2 mark)
2) The job-cost record for Job F49 contained the following:
Machining
Department
Assembly
Department
Direct materials used $45,000 $70,000
Direct manufacturing labour costs $14,000 $15,000
Direct manufacturing labour-hours 1,000 1,500
Machine-hours 2,000 1,000
a) Compute the total manufacturing overhead costs allocated to Job F49. (3 marks)
b) Assuming that Job F49 manufactured 200 units of product, calculate the per-unit total
manufacturing cost for Job F49. (3 marks)
Question 2: Process Costing (10 marks)
Steelcase Company manufactures tables for business and home offices. The manufacturing process involves
the Production Department and the Quality Control Department, during which each table coming out of the
Production Department is immediately transferred to the Quality Control Department.
The company’s process-costing system requires two cost categories being direct materials and conversion
costs. Direct materials are added at the beginning of the process when the degree of completion for direct
materials is determined. Conversion costs are added evenly during the process.
The table below shows the relevant data for the Production Department for November 2020.

Note:
(*) Degree of completion: 100% for direct materials and 40% for conversion cost
(**) Degree of completion: 100% for direct materials and 35% for conversion cost
Required:
Determine the cost per equivalent unit for the Steelcase Company’s direct materials and conversion costs,
and the total unit cost for the current period, under the FIFO method.
