Question

Job A3B was ordered by a customer on September 25. During the month of September, Jaycee Corporation requisitioned $1,800 of direct materials and used $3,300 of direct labor. The job was not finished by the end of the month, but needed an additional $2,300 of direct materials and additional direct labor of $5,100 to finish the job in October. The company applies overhead at the end of each month at a rate of 200% of the direct labor cost incurred. What is the balance in the Work in Process account at the end of September relative to Job A3B? Multiple Choice $7,400 $11,700 $4,100 $8,400

Answer 1

Answer:

$11,700

Explanation:

The computation of the balance in the work in process at the end of the month is shown below:

= Direct material cost + direct labor cost + manufacturing overhead cost percentage of direct labor cost

= $1,800 + $3,300 + $3,300 × 200%

= $1,800 + $3,300 + $6,600

= $11,700

We simply added the direct material cost, direct labor cost and the manufacturing overhead cost so that the ending balance could arrive
