Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The journal entry is shown below:

Work in Process A/c - Assembly department A/c Dr $52,320

Work in Process A/c - Finishing department A/c Dr $41,440

                       To Manufacturing overhead A/c                        $93,760

(Being the overhead are allocated to the Assembly and Finishing Departments)

The allocation of the assembly department equals to

= Raw material × percentage of labor cost

= $32,700 × 160%

= $52,320

The allocation of the finishing department equals to

= (Factory labor cost - factory labor) × percentage of labor cost

= ($63,800 - $37,900) × 160%

= $25,900 × 160%

= $41,440
