Answer 1

a.

DR Raw Material Inventory $30,000

CR Accounts Payable $30,000

b.

DR Work in Process Inventory $33,900

CR Raw Material Inventory $33,900

Working

= Job 114 + Job 115 + Job 116

= 16,500 + 12,400 + 5,000 = $33,900

c.

DR Work in Process $‭7,430‬

CR Wages Payable $‭7,430‬

Working

= (150 * 15) + (220 * 17) + (80 * 18)

= $‭7,430‬

d.

DR Work in Process $‭4,458‬

CR Manufacturing Overhead $‭4,458‬

Working

Overhead as % of Direct labor cost using Job 115 = Applied Overhead / Direct labor = 936/1,560 = 60%

Manufacturing Overhead = Overhead rate * Direct labor

= 60% * 7,430 = $‭4,458‬

e.

DR Manufacturing Overhead $4,765

CR Accounts Payable $4,765

f.

DR Finished Goods $‭23,520‬

CR Work in Process $‭23,520‬

Job 115 costs = Beginning + Material + Labor + Overhead

= (2,640 + 1,560 + 936) + 12,400 + (220 * 17) + (220 * 17 * 60%)

= $‭23,520‬

g.

DR Cost of Goods sold $‭23,520‬

CR Finished Goods $‭23,520‬

DR Accounts Receivable $‭32,928‬

CR Cost of Goods sold $‭32,928‬

Working

= ‭23,520‬ * 140%

= $‭32,928‬
