B. Factory workers:
• The factory workers worked 220 normal hours per month for the
first three quarters of the year, at a rate of R60 per hour.
• Due to the Covid-19 situation, the factory workers only worked 30
hours in total over the last quarter of the year at the normal hourly
rate.
• Over the whole financial year, the workers worked 60 hours
overtime at a rate of 1,5 of the normal rates.
C. The bookkeeper calculated the factory overhead cost for the
year ended 30 June 2020:
Sundry factory expenses R43 320
Indirect material R73 000
Insurance R22 100
Water and electricity R30 000
Marketing R14 700
Rent expense R163 800
Factory manager’s salary R126 800
With closer inspection, the following errors were noticed and should
be rectified:
• The balances for Indirect materials were not taken into account.
All Indirect materials are used in the factory.
• Insurance includes the payment for July 2020. The bookkeeper
forgot that 30% of Insurance should be allocated to the
Administrative department.
• Only 60% of Water and electricity was allocated to the factory. It
should have been 70%.
• The Rent expense is the total amount paid for the whole year.
This should be allocated between the Factory, Sales and
Administrative departments in the ratio of 5 : 3 : 1.
• The factory manager received an increase of R700 per month on
1 November 2019. He will forfeit his whole salary for the last
month due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The bookkeeper was not
aware of this arrangement.
D. Sales:
• Sales for the year ended 30 June 2019 was R1 760 000.
• Sales for the year ended 30 June 2020 showed a decrease of
40% from the previous year.
