Question

Sweeten Company had no jobs in progress at the beginning of March and no beginning inventories. It started only two jobs during March—Job P and Job Q. Job P was completed and sold by the end of the March and Job Q was incomplete at the end of the March. The company uses a plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours. The following additional information is available for the company as a whole and for Jobs P and Q (all data and questions relate to the month of March): Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead $ 10,000 Estimated variable manufacturing overhead per direct labor-hour $ 1.00 Estimated total direct labor-hours to be worked 2,000 Total actual manufacturing overhead costs incurred $ 12,500 Job P Job Q Direct materials $ 13,000 $ 8,000 Direct labor cost $ 21,000 $ 7,500 Actual direct labor-hours worked 1,400 500

Explanation / Answer

Answer 2. Total Estimated Manufacturing Overhead = Fixed Overhead + Variable Overhead Total Estimated Manufacturing Overhead = $10000 + $1 X 2000 Hrs = $12000 Predetermined Manufacturing Overhead Rate per direct labour hr = $12000 / 2000 hrs = $6 per hr. Manufacturing Overhead Applied Job P - $6 X 1400 hrs = $8400 Job Q - $6 X 500 hrs = $3000 Answer 3. Direct Labour Hourly Rate = $21000/ 1400 = $15 per direct Labour (If we calculate with Job Q, we will get the same answer for Direct labour hourly rate) Answer 4-a. Unit Product Cost of Job P = (13000 (Direct Material) + 21000 (Direct Labour) + $6 X 1400 (Manufacturing overhead)) / 20 Units Unit Product Cost of Job P = $2120 per Unit Answer 4-b. Calculation of Manufacturing cost of Job Q Direct Material                      8,000 Direct Labor                      7,500 Manufacturing Overhead - $ 6 X 500 hrs                      3,000 Total Manufacturing Costs                   18,500 Answer 5. Journal Entry Direct Material                                                  Dr. 22300    To Accounts Payable / Cash 22300 (Purchase of direct material) WIP - Job P                                                          Dr. 13000 WIP - Job Q                                                          Dr. 8000    To Direct Materials 21000 (Material issued to Job P and Job Q) Answer 6. Journal Entry Direct Labour                                                      Dr. 28500    To Cash 28500 (Direct Labour paid) WIP - Job P                                                          Dr. 21000 WIP - Job Q                                                          Dr. 7500     To Direct Labour 28500 (Labour applied to Job P and Job Q) Answer 7. Journal Entry Manufacturing Overhead                            Dr. 12500     To Cash 12500 (Manufacturing Overhead paid) WIP - Job P                                                          Dr. 8400 WIP - Job Q                                                          Dr. 3000     To Manufacturing Overhead 11400 (Manufacturing overhead applied to Job P and Job Q at predetermined overhead rate $6 per direct labor hour) WIP - Job P                                                          Dr.                         811 WIP - Job Q                                                          Dr.                         289     To Manufacturing Overhead 1100 (Underapplied Overhead transferred to Job P and Job Q in the ratio of actual direct labour hour) Answer 8. Job P Job Q Direct Material 13000 8000 Direct Labour 21000 7500 Manufacturing Overhead 8400 3000 Under Applied Manufacturing Overhead                         811                      289 Total Cost                   43,211                18,789 Cost of Goods Manufactured = WIP in the beginning + Direct Material + Direct Labour + Maznufacturing Overhead - WIP in the end Cost of Goods Manufactured = $0 + $21000 + $28500 + 12500 - 18789 = $43211 Answer 9. Journal Entry WIP - Job P                                                          Dr.                   43,211    To Finished Goods - Inventory                  43,211 (Job P is completed and transferred to finished goods) Note : Job Q is not completed and it is to be shown in the WIP at the end. So, Job Q is not transferred to Finished Goods Inventory Answer 10. WIP A/c Particulars Amount Particulars Amount To WIP in beginning                    -   By Finished Inventory   To Direct Material   Job P          43,211 Job P           13,000 Job Q             8,000 By WIP at the End To Direct Labor Job Q          18,789 Job P           21,000 Job Q             7,500 To MOH Job P             8,400 Job Q             3,000 To Under-applied MOH Job P                 811 Job Q                 289           62,000          62,000 Answer 11. Cost of Goods Sold = Finished Goods at beginning + Cost of Goods Manufactured - Finished Goods at end Cost of Goods Sold = $0 + $43211 - $0 = $43211 Answer 12.
