Question

Degelman Company uses a job order cost system and applies overhead to production on the basis of direct labor costs. On January 1, 2014, Job No. 50 was the only job in process. The costs incurred prior to January 1 on this job were as follows: direct materials $22,600, direct labor $13,560, and manufacturing overhead $18,080. As of January 1, Job No. 49 had been completed at a cost of $101,700 and was part of finished goods inventory. There was a $16,950 balance in the Raw Materials Inventory account.
During the month of January, Deglman Manufacturing began production on Jobs 51 and 52, and completed Jobs 50 and 51. Jobs 49 and 50 were also sold on account during the month for $137,860 and $178,540, respectively. The following additional events occurred during the month.
1. Purchased additional raw materials of $101,700 on account.
2. Incurred factory labor costs of $79,100. Of this amount $18,080 related to employer payroll taxes.
3. Incurred manufacturing overhead costs as follows: indirect materials $19,210; indirect labor $22,600; depreciation expense on equipment $21,470; and various other manufacturing overhead costs on account $18,080.
4. Assigned direct materials and direct labor to jobs as follows.
Job No. Direct Materials Direct Labor
50 $11,300 $5,650
51 44,070 28,250
52 33,900 22,600
1. Calculate the pre-determined overhead rate for 2014, assuming Degelman Company estimates total manufacturing overhead costs of $1,107,400, direct labor costs of $791,000, and direct labor hours of 22,600 for the year.
2. Prepare the journal entries to record the purchase of raw materials, the factory labor costs incurred, and the manufacturing overhead costs incurred during the month of January.
3. Prepare the journal entries to record the assignment of direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead costs to production. In assigning manufacturing overhead costs, use the overhead rate calculated in (a).
4. Total the job cost sheets for any job(s) completed during the month. Prepare the journal entry (or entries) to record the completion of any job(s) during the month.
5. Prepare the journal entry (or entries) to record the sale of any job(s) during the month. What is the balance in the Finished Goods Inventory account at the end of the month? What is the amount of over- or underapplied overhead?

Completed Jobs 50 and 51

Sales:

Job 49 = $137,860

Job 50 = $178,540  sold on account

Additional events:

1. Purchase of raw materials $101,700 on account

2. Incurred Factory labor = $79,100

   Employer payroll taxes     18,080

   Net Factory labor =        $61,020
