4. Over applied overhead= $1,260

5. $634,340

1) Calculation for the overhead rate for the year

Using this formula

Overhead rate = Estimated overhead/Estimated hour

Let plug in the formula

Overhead rate = 129600/13500

Overhead rate = 9.60 per hour

2) Calculation for the total cost of Job K456

Total cost of Job K456

Direct material 2750

Direct labor 5355

Overhead 3024

(5355/17*9.60)

Total cost of Job $11129

3) Preparation of the journal entries to record actual overhead and to apply overhead to production for the year.

Dr Manufacturing overhead 172500

(6800+19340+90400+14560+41400)

Cr Lease payable 6800

Cr Accumulated depreciation-Building 19340

Cr Wages payable 90400

Cr Utilities payable 14560

Cr Account payable 41400

(Being To record actual overhead)

Work in process (18100*9.6) 173760

Manufacturing overhead 173760

(To record applied overhead)

4) Calculation for whether overhead is overapplied or underapplied

Over applied overhead = 173760-172500

Over applied overhead= $1260

5) Calculation for the adjusted cost of goods sold

Adjusted cost of goods sold = 635600-1260

Adjusted cost of goods sold= $634340

Explanation:

Limited partnerships have two classes of partners. These two (2) classes are;

1. General partner: it is a type of partnership in which two or more people come together and have an agreement to do business by sharing profits, assets, debts or financial and legal liabilities.

2. Limited partner: it is a type of partnership in which people come together and have an agreement to do business but the involved partners only contribute financially and solely responsible to the amount of money they invested.

Hence, the general partner actually runs the business and faces unlimited liability for the firm's debt, while the limited partner is only liable up to the amount the limited partner invested.
