The journal entry to record the completion of a contract in a job costing system for a service firm is: A Cost of Services Billed x x x Wages Payable x x x B. Work-In-Process Inventory x x x Wages Payable x x x C. Cost of Services Billed x x x Work-In-Process Inventory x x x D. Finished Goods Inventory Wark-In-Process Inventory

The Work-in-Process Inventory account of a manufacturing firm shows a balance of $3,000 at the end of an accounting period. The job cost sheets of two uncompleted jobs show charges of $500 and $300 for materials, and charges of $400 and $600 for direct labor. From this information, it appears that the company is using a predetermined overhead rate, as a percentage of direct labor costs, of:

The predetermined overhead rate for manufacturing overhead for 2020 is $4.00 per direct labor hour. Employees are expected to earn $5.00 per hour and the company is planning on paying its employees $100,000 during the year. However, only 75% of the employees are classified as "direct labor." What was the estimated manufacturing overhead for 2020?

Townley Inc. has provided the following data for the month of February. There were no beginning inventories; consequently, the direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead applied listed below are all for the current month. Work-in- Finished Cost of Goods Process Goods Sold Total Direct materials \7 ,570 \1 9,200 \3 5,280 \6 2,050 Direct labor 8,810 24,000 44,100 76,910 Manufacturing overhead applied 8,320 15,600 28,080 52,000 Total \2 4,700 \5 8,800 \1 07,460 \1 90,960 Manufacturing overhead for the month was overapplied by $3,000. The company allocates any underapplied or overapplied overhead among Work-in-Process, Finished Goods, and Cost of Goods Sold at the end of the month on the basis of the overhead applied during the month in those accounts. Required: Provide the journal entry that would record the allocation of underapplied or overapplied among Work-in-Process, Finished Goods, and Cost of Goods Sold.

What are characteristics of companies that are likely to use a job costing system and what are examples of types of companies that are likely to use a job costing system?

The following selected data were taken from the books of the Owens O-Rings Company. The company uses job costing to account for manufacturing costs. The data relate to April operations. (1) Materials and supplies were requisitioned from the stores clerk as follows: Job 405, material X, $7,000. Job 406, material X, $3,000; material Y, $6,000. 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.

The following cost data relate to the manufacturing activities of Falco Industries during the just completed year: Total actual manufacturing overhead costs incurred (including \ 15,000 of indirect materials) \3 53,000 Purchases of raw materials (both direct and indirect) \2 50,000 Direct labor cost \1 35,000 Inventories: Raw materials, beginning \1 0,000 Raw materials, ending \1 5,000 Work-in-Process, beginning \2 0,000 Work-in-Process, ending \3 5,000 The company uses a predetermined overhead rate to apply manufacturing overhead cost to production. The predetermined overhead rate for the year was $15 per machine-hour. A total of 23,000 machine-hours was recorded for the year. Required: a. Compute the amount of underapplied or overapplied overhead cost for the year. b. Prepare a Schedule of Cost of Goods Manufactured for the year.

Before prorating the manufacturing overhead costs at the end of 2020, the Cost of Goods Sold and Finished Goods Inventory accounts had applied overhead costs of $57,500 and $20,000 in them, respectively. There was no Work-in-Process at the beginning or end of 2020. During the year, manufacturing overhead costs of $74,000 were actually incurred. The balance in the Applied Manufacturing Overhead was $77,500 at the end of 2020. - If the under or overapplied overhead is prorated between Cost of Goods Sold and the inventory accounts, how much will be allocated to the Finished Goods Inventory? (rounded to the nearest whole dollar)

Accounting for direct materials and direct labor is easier than accounting for manufacturing overhead costs.

Service organizations generally use the same job costing procedures as manufacturers.

Normal costing uses the actual allocation base activity to apply manufacturing overhead costs to jobs during the period.

Midwest Corporation has provided the following data concerning manufacturing overhead for 2020: Estimated manufacturing overhead for the year \3 0,000 Estimated direct labor hours for the year 2,000 Two jobs were worked on during the year: Job A-101 and Job A-102. The number of direct labor-hours spent on Job A-101 and Job A-102 were 1,200 and 1,000, respectively. The actual manufacturing overhead was $37,000. - What is the amount of the under- or overapplied manufacturing overhead?
