Answer 1

b.$12,990

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation to determine the amount debited to Work in Process for factory overhead in August, assuming a factory overhead rate of 30% of direct labor costs

Using this formula

Overhead applied = Direct labor cost * Predetermined overhead rate

Let plug in the formula

Overhead applied= 43,300 * 30%

Overhead applied= $12,990

Therefore the amount debited to Work in Process for factory overhead in August, assuming a factory overhead rate of 30% of direct labor costs is $12,990
