Camarillo Manufacturing Company was established to manufacture two types of pipe fittings, XL1 and XL2. The manufacturing process involves molding the fittings and then smoothing them.
The firm was initially capitalized with $500,000 as an S Corporation. The firm purchased equipment for $450,000 with cash of $125,000 and a note payable of $325,000. It also acquired furniture for $120,000 with cash of $60,000 and a note payable of $60,000. Management is now preparing the master budget for the first year of operations.
Factory Overhead Budget:
Service Department 1 handles personnel matters. The firm anticipates having 12 factory employees and expects the variable costs to operate the personnel department to average $1,000 per employee. The cost of this department is allocated to other departments on the assumption that there will be three employees in the maintenance department, five employees in the molding department, and four employees in the smoothing department. The personnel department's fixed
costs are estimated to be $15,000 and will be allocated on a lump sum basis at $3,000 to maintenance, $6,000 to molding and $6,000 to smoothing.
The maintenance department is budgeted to make 100 service calls during the period, 60 calls for the molding department and 40 calls for the smoothing department. The maintenance manager estimates that it will cost an average of $150 in variable costs per service call. The fixed costs of $14,000 are thought to benefit the two production departments equally.
The molding department is expected to incur $29,000 in variable overhead and $42,000 in fixed overhead. The smoothing department is expected to have $32,000 in variable overhead and $8,000 in fixed overhead.
Management has decided to allocated 60% of the fixed overhead cost of molding to XL1 and 40% to XL2 and split the fixed smoothing costs evenly between the two products. Variable costs will be allocated based on direct labor hours.
