- Cycle Specialists manufactures goods on a job order basis. During the month of June, three jobs were started in process. (There was no work in process at the beginning of the month.) Jobs Sprinters and Trekkers were completed and sold, on account, during the month (selling prices: Sprinters, 22,000; Trekkers, 27,000); Job Roadsters was still in process at the end of June. The following data came from the job cost sheets for each job. The factory overhead includes a total of 1,200 of indirect materials and 900 of indirect labor. Prepare journal entries to record the following: a. Materials used. b. Factory wages and salaries earned. c. Factory Overhead transferred to Work in Process d. Jobs completed. e. Jobs sold.arrow_forwardArgo Manufacturing Co. had 500 units, three-fifths completed, in process at the beginning of the month. During the month, 2,000 units were started in process and finished. There was no work in process at the end of the month. Unit cost of production for the month was 1.20. Costs for materials, labor, and factory overhead incurred in the current month totaled 2,655. Calculate the unit cost for the prior month. (Hint: You must first determine what the dollar balance in work in process must have been at the beginning of the month, as well as the equivalent production of the units in beginning inventory.)arrow_forwardAbbey Products Company is studying the results of applying factory overhead to production. The following data have been used: estimated factory overhead, 60,000; estimated materials costs, 50,000; estimated direct labor costs, 60,000; estimated direct labor hours, 10,000; estimated machine hours, 20,000; work in process at the beginning of the month, none. The actual factory overhead incurred for November was 80,000, and the production statistics on November 30 are as follows: Required: 1. Compute the predetermined rate, based on the following: a. Direct labor cost b. Direct labor hours c. Machine hours 2. Using each of the methods, compute the estimated total cost of each job at the end of the month. 3. Determine the under-or overapplied factory overhead, in total, at the end of the month under each of the methods. 4. Which method would you recommend? Why?arrow_forward
- The cost accountant for River Rock Beverage Co. estimated that total factory overhead cost for the Blending Department for the coming fiscal year beginning February 1 would be 3,150,000, and total direct labor costs would be 1,800,000. During February, the actual direct labor cost totalled 160,000, and factory overhead cost incurred totaled 283,900. a. What is the predetermined factory overhead rate based on direct labor cost? b. Journalize the entry to apply factory overhead to production for February. c. What is the February 28 balance of the account Factory OverheadBlending Department? d. Does the balance in part (c) represent over- or underapplied factory overhead?arrow_forwardDuring August, Skyler Company worked on three jobs. Data relating to these three jobs follow: Overhead is assigned on the basis of direct labor hours at a rate of 2.30 per direct labor hour. During August, Jobs 39 and 40 were completed and transferred to Finished Goods Inventory. Job 40 was sold by the end of the month. Job 41 was the only unfinished job at the end of the month. Required: 1. Calculate the per-unit cost of Jobs 39 and 40. (Round unit costs to nearest cent.) 2. Compute the ending balance in the work-in-process inventory account. 3. Prepare the journal entries reflecting the completion of Jobs 39 and 40 and the sale of Job 40. The selling price is 140 percent of cost.arrow_forwardChannel Products Inc. uses the job order cost system of accounting. The following is a list of the jobs completed during March, showing the charges for materials issued to production and for direct labor. Assume that factory overhead is applied on the basis of direct labor costs and that the predetermined rate is 200%. Required: Compute the amount of overhead to be added to the cost of each job completed during the month. Compute the total cost of each job completed during the month. Compute the total cost of producing all the jobs finished during the month.arrow_forward
- Collegiate Publishing Inc. began printing operations on March 1. Jobs 301 and 302 were completed during the month, and all costs applicable to them were recorded on the related cost sheets. Jobs 303 and 304 are still in process at the end of the month, and all applicable costs except factory overhead have been recorded on the related cost sheets. In addition to the materials and labor charged directly to the jobs, 4,500 of indirect materials and 8,200 of indirect labor were used during the month. The cost sheets for the four jobs entering production during the month are as follows, in summary form: Journalize the summary entry to record each of the following operations for March (one entry for each operation): a. Direct and indirect materials used. b. Direct and indirect labor used. c. Factory overhead applied to all four jobs (a single overhead rate is used based on direct labor cost). d. Completion of Jobs 301 and 302.arrow_forwardChrome Solutions Company manufactures special chromed parts made to the order and specifications of the customer. It has two production departments, Stamping and Plating, and two service departments, Power and Maintenance. In any production department, the job in process is wholly completed before the next job is started. The company operates on a fiscal year, which ends September 30. Following is the post-closing trial balance as of September 30: Additional information: The balance of the materials account represents the following: The company uses the FIFO method of accounting for all inventories. Material A is used in the Stamping Department, and materials B and C are used in the Plating Department. The balance of the work in process account represents the following costs that are applicable to Job 905. (The customer’s order is for 1,000 units of the finished product.) The finished goods account reflects the cost of Job 803, which was finished at the end of the preceding month and is awaiting delivery orders from the customer. At the beginning of the year, factory overhead application rates were based on the following data: In October, the following transactions were recorded: Purchased the following materials and supplies on account: The following materials were issued to the factory: Customers’ orders covered by Jobs 1001 and 1002 are for 1,000 and 500 units of finished product, respectively. Factory wages and office, sales, and administrative salaries are paid at the end of each month. (Assume FICA and federal income tax rates of 8% and 10%, respectively.) Record the company’s liability for state and federal unemployment taxes. (Assume rates of 4% and 1%, respectively, and that none of the employees had reached the $8,000 limit.) Record the payroll distribution for October. Wages of the supervisors, custodial personnel, etc., totaled $9,500; administrative salaries were $18,300. Miscellaneous factory overhead incurred during October totaled $4,230. Miscellaneous selling and administrative expenses were $1,500. These items as well as the FICA tax and federal income tax withheld for September were paid. (See account balances on the post-closing trial balance for September 30.) Annual depreciation on plant assets is calculated using the following rates (round to nearest dollar): Factory buildings–5% Machinery and equipment–20% Office equipment–20% The balance of the prepaid insurance account represents a three-year premium for a fire insurance policy covering the factory building and machinery. It was paid on the last day of the preceding month and became effective on October 1. The summary of factory overhead prepared from the factory overhead ledger is reproduced here: The total expenses of the Maintenance Department are distributed on the basis of floor space occupied by the Power Department (8,820 sq ft), Stamping Department (19,500 sq ft), and Plating Department (7,875 sq ft). The power department expenses are then allocated equally to the Stamping and Plating departments. After the actual factory overhead expenses have been distributed to the departmental accounts and the applied factory overhead has been recorded and posted, any balances in the departmental accounts are transferred to Under- and Overapplied Overhead. Jobs 905 and 1001 were finished during the month. Job 1002 is still in process at the end of the month. During the month, Jobs 803 and 905 were sold with a mark-on percentage of 50% on cost. Received $55,500 from customers in payment of their accounts. Checks were issued in the amount of $43,706 for payment of the payroll. Required: Set up the beginning trial balance in T-accounts. Prepare materials inventory ledger cards and enter October 1 balances. Prepare a Payroll Summary and Schedule of Earnings and Payroll Taxes for the month of October. Set up job cost sheets as needed. Record all transactions and related entries for October and post to T-accounts. Prepare a service department expense distribution worksheet for October. At the end of the month: Analyze the balance in the materials account, the work in process account, and the finished goods account. Prepare the statement of cost of goods manufactured for the month ended October 31.arrow_forwardSweeten Company had no jobs in progress at the beginning of March and no beginning inventories.
