Explanation / Answer

Answer:

1. Plantwide overhead rate / Overhead per direct labor hour = $789,000 / 100,000 = $7.89 per hour

2. Job-order cost sheets

3. Balance in Work in Process on July 31 = Total cost of Job742 + Job744 + Job745 = 170,341 + 50,724 + 40,766 = $261,831.

4. Cost of goods sold for July = Total cost of Job 741 + Job 743 = 148,230 + 86,652$234,882
