Question

Job A3B was ordered by a customer on September 25. During the month of September, Jaycee Corporation requisitioned $3,500 of direct materials and used $5,000 of direct labor. The job was not finished by the end of the month, but needed an additional $4,000 of direct materials and additional direct labor of $8,500 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:

18,500 WIP balance at September 30th

Explanation:

Job A3B

3,500 direct materials

5,000 direct labor

10,000 Overhead (200% of labor = 5000 x 200%)

18,500 WIP balance at September 30th

The cost added during October will be part of October calculation, on September we should work with September values.
