- In order to increase balances of Asset and Expenses accounts, they are debited and in order to decrease the balances, they are credited
- In order to increase balances of Liability and Income accounts, they are credited and in order to decrease the balances, they are debited.
Hence, the transactions have been posted to T-Accounts.
(3) To Compute:
Close balance of Manufacturing Overhead by passing suitable
Introduction:
Application of Overhead
- Overhead refers to the various types of costs associated with the costs of production.
- These can include direct over heads such as factory rent, factory electricity expenses etc or indirect overheads such as depreciation, insurance expenses etc.
- The application of overhead means allocation of costs of production that are attributable to the goods manufactured in a fixed proportion or method of allocation.
- The difference between the actual manufacturing overhead and the applied manufacturing overhead is the under application or over application of overhead.
Journal Entries
- Journal entries are the first step in recording financial transactions and preparation of financial statements.
- These represent the impact of the financial transaction and demonstrate the effect on the accounts impacted in the form of debits and credits.
- Assets and expenses have debit balances and Liabilities and Incomes have credit balances
T-Accounts
- T-Accounts are a graphical representation of the postings made to the accounts during a reporting period.
- The left side records the debit entries and the right side records the credit entries of an account.
- Depending on the nature of the account i.e. Balance Sheet or Profit and Loss Account, Income or Expense account etc. the account balances are reflected.

Explanation of Solution
Date | Particulars | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |
12.31.18 | Manufacturing Overhead | 47,000 | |
Cost of Goods Sold | 47,000 | ||
(Being Over applied overhead closed to Cost of Goods Sold) |
- The application of overhead to work in progress in a pre-determined rate often results in under or over absorption of the overhead.
- The difference between the applied overhead and the actual overhead is the under or over application of the overhead.
- When the actual overhead is greater than the applied overhead, it results in under application of the manufacturing overhead.
- When the actual overhead is less than the applied overhead, it results in over application of the manufacturing overhead.
- Over applied overhead is a favorable variance since it results in a lower than expected cost of goods sold.
- The overhead is applied at a pre-determined rate of $4 ($280,000 / 7000 * 7250 hours) per direct labor hour for 7,250 Labor Hours, resulting in over application of overhead since the actual manufacturing overhead is only $243,000 whereas the applied overhead is $290,000.
- The over applied Manufacturing Overhead is transferred to the cost of goods sold and it is calculated accordingly.
- The T- Account is presented herewith for understanding
Dr. | Manufacturing Overhead | Cr. | |||
Transaction | Particulars | Amount ($) | Transaction | Particulars | Amount ($) |
b | Raw Materials | $ 30,000.00 | i | Videos in Process | $ 290,000.00 |

g | Prepaid Insurance | $ 1,400.00 | |||
h | Accounts Payable | $ 8,600.00 | |||
Cost of Goods Sold | $ 47,000.00 |
Hence, the transaction of transferring the manufacturing overhead balance to cost of goods sold is journalized.
(4) To Prepare:
Schedule of Cost of Goods Manufactured.

Beginning Materials Inventory | 30,000 | |
Add: Cost of Raw Materials Purchased | 185,000 | |
Total Raw Materials Available | 215,000 | |
Less: Closing Materials Inventory | (15,000) | |
Total Raw Materials Used | 200,000 | |

Add: Beginning Work In Progress Inventory | 45,000 | |
Less: Closing Work In Progress Inventory | 105,600 | |
Cost Of Goods Manufactured | 464,400 |
- The cost of goods manufactured is a sum of the direct material, labor and manufacturing overhead attributable to the product.
- The direct material is calculated by adding the beginning raw materials inventory to the cost of raw materials purchased and reducing the balance of ending raw materials inventory.
- The opening and closing balances of Raw materials along with the cost of purchases are given. These are used to calculate the cost of material consumed.
- Direct labor and Manufacturing Overhead are also calculated. These along with cost of materials help in ascertaining the total manufacturing costs.
- Manufacturing overhead is considered at actuals and not at the rate of application of overhead.
- The opening and closing balance of Work in progress are given.
- The cost of manufacturing goods is calculated by adding the beginning Work in progress inventory to the cost of material, labor and overhead and reducing the balance of ending Work in progress inventory.
Hence, the cost of goods manufactured is $464,400.
(5) To Compute:
Cost of Goods Sold.
Introduction:
Cost of Goods Sold
- The Schedule of Cost of Goods sold is used to compute the cost of goods sold in a particular period.
- Cost of goods sold comprises of the cost of
- Goods manufactured along with the effect of the change in inventory of the finished goods.
- The cost of goods manufactured is a sum of the direct material, labor and manufacturing overhead attributable to the product.

Explanation of Solution
Schedule of Cost Of Goods Sold | |
Beginning Finished Goods Inventory | 81,000 |
Cost of Goods Manufactured | 464,400 |
Total Goods Available for Sale | 545,400 |
Ending Finished Goods Inventory | 31,000 |
Overapplied Overhead | 47,000 |
Cost of Goods Sold | 561,400 |
- The application of overhead to work in progress in a pre-determined rate often results in under or over absorption of the overhead.
- The difference between the applied overhead and the actual overhead is the under or over application of the overhead.
- When the actual overhead is greater than the applied overhead, it results in under application of the manufacturing overhead.
- When the actual overhead is less than the applied overhead, it results in over application of the manufacturing overhead.
- Over applied overhead is a favorable variance since it results in a lower than expected cost of goods sold.
- The cost of Goods sold is calculated by adding the beginning finished goods inventory to the cost of goods manufactured and reducing the balance of ending finished goods inventory.
- The cost of goods manufactured is a sum of the direct material, labor and manufacturing overhead attributable to the product.
- The opening and closing balances of finished goods inventory are given in the question. These are used to ascertain the actual cost of goods sold.
- The over applied Manufacturing Overhead is transferred to the cost of goods sold and it is calculated accordingly
Hence, the transaction of transferring the manufacturing overhead balance to cost of goods sold is journalized and the cost of goods sold is $ 561,400.
(6) To Prepare:
Income Statement for the year
Introduction:
Income Statement:
- Income Statement is a record of the revenues goods sold, expenses of direct and indirect nature, and the change in inventory.

Prepaid Insurance | 1,400 | |
Misc Expenses | 8,600 | |
Total Operating Expenses | 243,000 | |
Income From Operations | 120,600 |
- The Income statement is a record of the various expenses such as cost of goods manufactured, and revenues such as sales revenue.
- Income from operations is calculated as $120,600. This is the difference between the Gross Profit and the Operating Expenses.
- Selling and Administrative Expenses of $ 243,000 are calculated based on the various transactions occurring during the reporting period. These constitute the Total Operating Expenses.
- The difference of Net Income from Sales and Total Cost of Goods Sold is the Gross Profit.
- The ending finished goods inventory is calculated as a difference of the Cost of Goods sold and the Cost of Goods available for Sale.
- The cost of Goods sold is calculated by adding the beginning finished goods inventory.
Hence, Income Statement has been prepared and the net income from operations is $120,600.
