IYF Corporation manufactures miscellaneous parts for building construction and maintenance. IYF uses a normal job costing system. The system applies manufacturing overhead on the basis of direct labor cost. For managerial purposes, over- or underapplied overhead is written off to Cost of Goods Sold monthly. IYF hires interns to work in its Plant Accounting department and, as a part of its interview process, asks candidates to take a short quiz. Complete the following, which is problem 14 on the quiz:

14. You are given the following journal entries for June. (Assume that only one entry is made each month.)

^a This entry does not include any over- or underapplied overhead. Over- or underapplied overhead is written off to Cost of Goods Sold once for the month. For June, the amount written off was 5 percent of overhead applied for June.

The Work-in-Process ending account balance on June 30 was twice the beginning balance. The Direct Material Ending Inventory balance on June 30 was $7,000 less than the beginning balance. The Finished Goods ending balance on June 30 was $3,000.
