Applying Overhead to Jobs, Costing Jobs
Jagjit Company designs and builds retaining walls for individual customers. On August 1, there were two jobs in process: Job 93 with a beginning balance of $8,650, and Job 94 with a beginning balance of $7,270. Jagjit applies overhead at the rate of $9 per direct labor hour. Direct labor wages average $16 per hour. Data on August costs for all jobs are as follows:
Job 93 Job 94 Job 95 Job 96
Direct materials $950 $4,500 $3,300 $1,300
Direct labor cost 2,160 5,400 2,610 900
During August, Jobs 95 and 96 were started. Job 93 was completed on August 17, and the client was billed at cost plus 40%. All other jobs remained in process.
Required:
1. Calculate the number of direct labor hours that were worked on each job in August.

3. Prepare job-order cost sheets for each job as of the end of August.

6. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION: Partway through the year, Jagjit bought a bulldozer to handle larger jobs. The bulldozer cost $38,000 and is needed for larger commercial jobs. Smaller residential jobs can still be done with the smaller bobcat tractor. How could the bulldozer’s cost be applied to only those jobs that need the larger equipment?
Explanation:
For questions 1 to 5 ,I have the answers in the excel file.
For Question 6,the bulldozer cost can depreciated depending on the envisaged useful live.The depreciation charge per year can be apportioned to jobs that made use of the bulldozer that year on direct labor hours basis
