Job 407, material X, $7,000; material Y, $3,200. For general factory use: materials A, B, and C, $2,300. (2) Time tickets for the month were chargeable as follows: Job 405 \ 11,000 3,000hours Job 406 14,000 3,600hours Job 407 8,000 1,900hours Indirect labor 3,700 (3) Other information: Factory paychecks for $36,700 were issued during the month. Various factory overhead charges of $19,400 were incurred on account. Depreciation of factory equipment for the month was $5,400. Factory overhead was applied to jobs at the rate of $3.50 per direct labor hour. Job orders completed during the month: Job 405 and Job 406. Selling and administrative costs were $2,100.
