Question

Potts company uses a job costing system and had the following data available for 20X9.

Cost of raw materials purchased on account $ 75,000
Cost of raw materials requisitioned(includes
$2,000 of indirect materials) $ 43,000
Direct labor cost incurred $ 75,000
Manufacturing overhead costs incurred $ 95,000
Cost of goods completed $ 226,750
Cost of goods sold $ 138,000
Raw materials inventory, Jan. 1, 20X9 $ 15,000
Work in process inventory, Jan. 1, 20X9 $ 32,000
Finished goods inventory, Jan. 1, 20X9 $ 31,000
Pre-determined manufacturing overhead rate 125% (as a percent of direct labor cost)
Refer to Case 1.
The journal entry to record the total materials placed into production would include which of the following?
A) debit to manufacturing overhead for $41,000
B) debit to work in process for $43,000
C) debit to work in process for $41,000
D) credit to manufacturing overhead for $2.000
Refer to Case 2.
The journal entry to record the actual manufacturing overhead costs incurred would include which of the following?
A) debit to manufacturing overhead $95,000
B) debit to work in process for 93.750
B) credit to work in process $95,000
C) credit to manufacturing overhead $93,750

Answer 1

1. C) debit to work in process for $41,000

2. A) debit to manufacturing overhead $95,000

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The materials that were placed into production are:

= Cost of raw materials requisitioned - indirect materials

= 43,000 - 2,000

= $41,000

This will be debited to the Work in Progress as it is a direct cost.

2. Manufacturing overhead for the period is $95,000 and this will go to the manufacturing overhead account as a debit because it is an expense.
