Factory Manager Salary $7,000

Factory Utilities 3,500

Machinery Deprecation 10,000

Machinery Repairs 2,500

Factory Insurance (prepaid) 1,500

The overhead application rate is based on direct labor hours. The preset formula for overhead application estimated that $23,000 would be incurred, and 10,000 direct labor hours would be worked. During March, 7,500 hours were actually worked on Job Order A-2 and 3,000 hours were actually worked on Job Order A-3. Use this information to prepare the March 31 General Journal entry to record the factory overhead costs. (round any final dollar answers to the nearest whole dollar):

To Accumulated depreciation $10,000

To Cash $14,500

(Being the factory overhead cost is recorded)
