Business

Answer:

Explanation:

Manufacturing overhead records all the expenses like salaries payable which come under indirect labor. Manufacturing overhead includes all those indirect costs which are related to the factory-like - factory rent, factory repairs, depreciation on factory equipment, property taxes

For recognized expense, the journal entry would be

Factory overhead A.c Dr

        To Expenses A/c  

(Being expense recognized)

Since the cost is actually incurred so this above entry should be made

And, the journal entry for applied overhead is shown below

Work in progress inventory A/c Dr XXXXX

      To Factory overhead A/c XXXXX

(Being overhead applied is recorded)

Since applied overhead is based on predetermined overhead rate so we credit the factory overhead and debit the work in progress inventory

David paid $975,000 for two beachfront lots in coastal South Carolina, with the intention of building residential homes on each.
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

The correct answer would be, Yes South Carolina would be compensating David as his property is now economically valueless.  

Explanation:  

Under the taking clause, 'The Beachfront Management Act was properly and validly designed to preserve South Carolina's beaches', which means that no one will be allowed to do any development project near beaches in order to save the beaches.  

Though it is already written in the Act, The Beachfront Management Act barred any further development on the coasts of Carolina, which makes the purchased property of David as economically valuless, so South Carolina would be compensating him as the law has passed and they won't allow further development but they need to compensate the people who purchased the property on the beaches for the purpose of future business.

Ikerd Company applies manufacturing overhead to jobs on the basis of machine hours used. Overhead costs are expected to total $3
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

a.  $2.4

b. $10,000 under-applied

c. Cost of goods sold A/c Dr $10,000

      To Manufacturing overhead    $10,000

Explanation:

a. The computation of the manufacturing overhead rate is shown below:

Manufacturing overhead rate = (Total estimated manufacturing overhead) ÷ (estimated direct labor-hours)

= $300,000 ÷ 125,000 hours

= $2.4

(B) Now we have to find the actual overhead which equals to

= Actual direct labor-hours × predetermined overhead rate

= 130,000 hours × $2.4

= $312,000

So, the ending overhead equals to

= Actual manufacturing overhead - actual overhead

= $322,000 - $312,000

= $10,000 under-applied

c. The adjusting entry is shown below:

Cost of goods sold A/c Dr $10,000

      To Manufacturing overhead    $10,000

(Being the under-applied overhead is adjusted)
