Question

Job A3B was ordered by a customer on September 25. During the month of September, Jaycee Corporation requisitioned $2,100 of direct materials and used $3,600 of direct labor. The job was not finished by the end of the month, but needed an additional $2,600 of direct materials and additional direct labor of $5,700 to finish the job in October. The company applies overhead at the end of each month at a rate of 200% of the direct labor cost incurred. What is the balance in the Work in Process account at the end of September relative to Job A3B?

Answer 1

Answer:

Total work in process = $12,900

Explanation:

Provided information,

Cost incurred during the month on this order

Direct Materials = $2,100

Direct Labor = $3,600

Provided overheads are 200% of the direct labor cost = $3,600 $\times$ 200% = $7,200

Thus month end balance of work in process = $2,100 + $3,600 + $7,200

Total work in process = $12,900

Note: additional information regarding expenses to be incurred is to be ignored, and the above value is the value of work in process.

Total work in process = $12,900
