Question

g Zander Inc. uses a job-order costing system in which any underapplied or overapplied overhead is closed to cost of goods sold at the end of the month. In July the company completed job F21X that consisted of 10,500 units of one of the company's standard products. No other jobs were in process during the month. The job cost sheet for job F21X shows the following costs: Beginning balance $45,150 Direct materials $363,300 Direct labor cost $161,700 Manufacturing overhead cost applied $207,900 During the month, the actual manufacturing overhead cost incurred was $205,800 and 7,000 completed units from job F21X were sold. No other products were sold during the month. The unadjusted cost of goods sold (in other words, the cost of goods sold BEFORE adjustment for any underapplied or overapplied overhead) for July is closest to:

Answer 1

$518,700

Explanation:

For the computation of unadjusted cost of goods sold first we need to find out the total cost of Job F21X and cost per unit which is shown below:-

The Total cost of Job F21X = Beginning balance + Direct materials + Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead applied

= $45,150 + $363,300 + $161,700 + $207,900

= $778,050

Cost per unit = Total cost of Job F21X ÷ Number of units

= $778,050 ÷ 10,500

= $74.10

Cost of goods sold = Completed units from Job F21X × Cost per unit

= 7,000 × $74.10

= $518,700
