Kilo Company has a job-costing system. The following items appeared in the Work-in-Process Inventory account during January of the current year: January 1 balance \ 20,000 Materials placed into production ? Direct labour (4,000 hours) \ 120,000 Manufacturing ov erhead applied \ 96,000 Cost of goods manufactured \ 400,000 January 31 balance \ 16,000 Kilo applies overhead to production on the basis of direct labour hours. Job XX, the only job in process on January 31, has been charged $10,600 materials cost and has 100 labour hours of direct labour time assigned to it. Required: A. Determine the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate for Kilo Company. B. Determine the amounts of materials, direct labour, and manufacturing overhead included in the January 31 Work-in-Process Inventory. C. Determine the amount of materials placed into production during January.

Steel Incorporated uses a job-order costing system and a predetermined overhead rate based on machine hours. At the beginning of the year, the company estimated manufacturing overhead for the year would be $240,000 and machine hours would be 8,000. The following information pertains to November of the current year: $\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\text { Job 10\quad\quad Job 11\quad\quad Job 12 } \quad \text { Total }$ $\text { Work-in-Process Inventory, Nov. } 1 \quad \$ 16,000 \quad \$ 26,000 \quad \$ 38,000 \quad \$ 80,000$ December production activity: Materials requisitioned \ 4,000 \ 4,800 \ 7,200 \ 16,000 Direct labour cost \ 2,400 \ 3,600 \ 4,000 \ 10,000 Machine hours 400 700 900 2,000 Labour hours 120 180 200 500 Actual manufacturing overhead cost incurred in November was $61,000.
