Answer:

<u>a schedule of cost of goods manufactured</u>

Direct Raw materials                                    $281,000

Direct Labor                                                  $377,000

Indirect Raw materials                                  $26,000

Indirect Labor                                                $96,000

Factory utility costs:                                       $10,000

Depreciation - factory operations               $120,000

Add Opening Work In Process                     $27,000

Less Closing Work In Process                       ($9,000)

cost of goods manufactured                        $928,000

Under Recovery = $14,000

Explanation:

a. Prepare a schedule of cost of goods manufactured.

Raw Materials Used in Manufacturing = $14,000+$315,000-$22,000

                                                               = $307,000

<u>a schedule of cost of goods manufactured</u>

Direct Raw materials                                    $281,000

Direct Labor                                                  $377,000

Indirect Raw materials                                  $26,000

Indirect Labor                                                $96,000

Factory utility costs:                                       $10,000

Depreciation - factory operations               $120,000

Add Opening Work In Process                     $27,000

Less Closing Work In Process                       ($9,000)

cost of goods manufactured                        $928,000

b. Was the manufacturing overhead under- or overapplied

Factory Overheads Applied = Predetermined Rate × Actual Activity

Predetermined Rate = Budgeted Overheads/ Budgeted Activity

                                  = $231,000/33,000 machine hours

                                  =$7.00 per machine hour

Factory Overheads Applied = $7.00 × 34,000 machine hours

                                              = $238,000

<u>Actual Overheads </u>

Indirect Raw materials                                  $26,000

Indirect Labor                                                $96,000

Factory utility costs:                                       $10,000

Depreciation - factory operations               $120,000

Total                                                              $252,000

Actual Overheads $252,000 > Factory Overheads Applied $238,000

Under Recovery = $14,000

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

b. $16,700

Explanation:

The computation of the depreciation expense under the straight-line method is shown below:

= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)

= ($98,500 - $15,000) ÷ (5 years)

= ($83,500) ÷ (5 years)  

= $16,700

The original cost is computed below:

= Original cost  of machinery + freight charges + cost of building a foundation and  installing the machinery

= $85,000 + $3,500 + $10,000

= $98,500

In this method, the depreciation is same for all the remaining useful life
