Answer 1

Solution:

Dec. 1 , Beginning balance (a) ,

(A) Beginning balance = Ending balance + Requisitions -Purchases

Beginning balance = 8,220+18,500-19,980

Beginning balance = 6740

Work in Process Inventory

(b) Find Dec. 1 Beginning balance ,

Beginning balance = 9,860+16,800+ 16,800 x 75% = 39260

(c) Calculate Direct materials ,

Direct materials = Requisitions – Indirect material

Direct materials = 18,500-2,100=16400

(d) Calculate Overhead ,

Overhead = 9,400 x 0.75 = 7050

(E) Calculate Ending balance,

Ending balance = 4,300 + 5,100 +5,100 x 0.75 = 13225

(f) Calculate Jobs completed ,

Jobs completed = Beginning balance (b) + Direct materials (c) + Direct labor Overhead (d) – Ending balance (e)

Jobs completed = 39260+ 16400+9,400+7050-13225 =58885

Overhead applied = 7050 -760-2,100-1,380 =2810

Manufacturing overhead was $760 over applied in December.

Factory Labor

Dec. 31 Factory wages 12,210

Dec. 31 Wages assigned (k)??

The Wages assigned equal to Factory wages.

So, Wages assigned (k) = 12,210
