Question

Joseph Co. pulled the following information from its record for fiscal year 2015. Manufacturing overhead is allocated at a rate of 120% of Direct Labor cost. (Do not worry about closing Manufacturing overhead.) All information given and asked of you is prior to closing Manufacturing overhead.

Raw Materials Purchases (includes DM and IM)

$82,000

Direct Materials used

$94,000

Indirect Material Used

$5,000

Cost of Goods Manufactured

$204,000

Manufacturing allocated to jobs

$96,000

Cost of Goods Sold

$149,000

Indirect Labor Used

$35,000

Under-allocation of Manufacturing Overhead

$8,000

Additionally, the following general ledger balances were given:

Raw Materials Inventory as of 1/1/2015

$30,000

Work in Process as of 1/1/2015

$10,000

Finished Goods Inventory as of 12/31/2015

$60,000

Compute the following:

A. Other manufacturing overhead costs incurred during the year besides those listed above? ___________

Raw Materials Purchases (includes DM and IM)

$82,000

Direct Materials used

$94,000

Indirect Material Used

$5,000

Cost of Goods Manufactured

$204,000

Manufacturing allocated to jobs

$96,000

Cost of Goods Sold

$149,000

Indirect Labor Used

$35,000

Under-allocation of Manufacturing Overhead

$8,000

Explanation / Answer

Let x be the amount of Direct Laboue used

cost of goods manufactured = Direct materials + Direct Labour + Manufacturing overheads allocated to the job

204000 = 94000 + x + 1.2x

2.2 x = 204000 - 94000

2.2 x = 110000

x = 50000

It means that the Direct Labour cost used in the job = $50000

Hence, other manufacturing overhead costs incurred during the year besides those listed above are 120% of 50000 i.e $60000
