Exam 7: Job Costing

The predetermined overhead rate for manufacturing overhead for 2012 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 2012?

Sharp Company's records show that overhead was overapplied by $10,000 last year.This overapplied overhead was closed out to the Cost of Goods Sold account at the end of the year.In trying to determine why overhead was overapplied by such a large amount,the company has discovered that $6,000 of depreciation on factory equipment was charged to administrative expense in error.Given the above information,which of the following statements is true?

Which of the following is the correct formula to compute the predetermined overhead rate?

Scottso Corporation applies overhead using an actual costing approach.Budgeted factory overhead was $266,400,budgeted machine-hours were 18,500.Actual factory overhead was $287,920,actual machine-hours were 19,050.How much overhead would be applied to production?

The periodic allocation of manufacturing overhead costs to job cost sheets is based on an event,not a transaction.The allocation of manufacturing overhead takes place at the end of a period (Work-in-Process)or the completion of a job (transfer to Finished Goods Inventory).

The journal entry to record the actual manufacturing overhead costs for indirect material is:

The financial records for the Lee Manufacturing Company have been destroyed in a fire.The following information has been obtained from a separate set of books maintained by the cost accountant.The cost accountant now asks for your assistance in computing the missing amounts. What is the amount of the materials purchased?

Overapplied overhead occurs when the actual overhead costs incurred during a period are greater than the overhead costs applied during the period.An overapplied overhead situation occurs when the applied overhead exceeds the actual overhead incurred.

The journal entry to record actual manufacturing overhead for indirect labor debits Manufacturing Overhead (Control)and credits Work-in-Process inventory.The credit should be to Wages Payable.

The Update Company does not maintain backup documents for its computer files.In June,some of the current data were lost,and you have been asked to help reconstruct the data.The following beginning balances on June 1 are known: Reviewing old documents and interviewing selected employees have generated the following additional information: The production superintendent's job cost sheets indicated that materials of $2,600 were included in the June 30 Work-in-Process Inventory.Also,300 direct labor-hours had been paid at $6.00 per hour for the jobs in process on June 30.The Accounts Payable account is only for direct material purchases.The clerk remembers clearly that the balance in the Accounts Payable on June 30 was $8,000.An analysis of canceled checks indicated payments of $40,000 were made to suppliers during June.Payroll records indicate that 5,200 direct labor-hours were recorded for June.It was verified that there were no variations in pay rates among employees during June.Records at the warehouse indicate that the Finished Goods Inventory totaled $16,000 on June 30.Another record kept manually indicates that the Cost of Goods Sold in June totaled $84,000.The predetermined overhead rate was based on an estimated 60,000 direct labor-hours for the year and an estimated $180,000 in manufacturing overhead costs.What is the ending balance in the Work-in-Process Inventory on June 30?

Service organizations generally use the same job costing procedures as manufacturers.The difference is the product being produced is intangible.

Compute the Work-in-Process transferred to the finished goods warehouse on April 30 using the following information:

The financial records for the Lee Manufacturing Company have been destroyed in a fire.The following information has been obtained from a separate set of books maintained by the cost accountant.The cost accountant now asks for your assistance in computing the missing amounts. What is the value of the ending Work-in-Process inventory balance?

The journal entry to record actual manufacturing overhead for indirect material debits Manufacturing Overhead (Control)and credits Accounts Payable.The credit is to materials inventory.

The balance in the Work-in-Process account equals:

In a job-order costing system,direct labor cost is ordinarily debited to:

The following selected data were taken from the books of the Bixby Box Company.The company uses job costing to account for manufacturing costs.The data relate to June operations.A)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.B)Time tickets for the month were chargeable as follows: C)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.Factory overhead is closed out only at the end of the year.If Job 406 was sold on account for $41,500,how much gross profit would be recognized for the job?

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?
