Why the computers to control manufacturing operations


Adriana Company is highly automated and uses computers to control manufacturing operations. The company uses a job-order costing system and applies manufacturing overhead cost to products on the basis of computer-hours. The following estimates were used in preparing the predetermined overhead rate at the beginning of the year:

  

 Computer-hours
82,000
 Fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 1,278,000
 Variable manufacturing overhead per computer-hour $ 3.40

During the year, a severe economic recession resulted in cutting back production and a buildup of inventory in the company's warehouse. The company's cost records revealed the following actual cost and operating data for the year:

  

Computer-hours
60,000
Manufacturing overhead cost $ 1,208,000
Inventories at year-end:

 Raw materials $ 420,000
Work in process $ 120,000
 Finished goods $ 1,030,000
 Cost of goods sold $ 2,770,000
