Answer 1

Answer:

1. $7.00

2. $49,000

3. $33,200

Explanation:

1. The computation of predetermined overhead rate is shown below:-

Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated overhead ÷ Estimated machine hours

= $420,000 ÷ 60,000

= $7.00

2. The computation of total manufacturing overhead applied is shown below:-

Particulars                    Job 101    Job 102      Job 103     Total

Direct material             $19,200    $14,400     $9,600    $43,200

Direct labor                  $28,800    $11,200     $9,600    $49,600

Manufacturing

overhead                      $7,000      $28,000    $14,000   $49,000

Total                              $55,000    $53,600    $33,200  $141,800

3. The computation of balance in the Work in Process Inventory account at the end of the first month is shown below:-

Particulars                    Job 101    Job 102      Job 103     Total

Direct material             $19,200    $14,400     $9,600    $43,200

Direct labor                  $28,800    $11,200     $9,600    $49,600

Manufacturing

overhead                      $7,000      $28,000    $14,000   $49,000

Total                              $55,000    $53,600    $33,200  $141,800

Job 101 is completed and sold

Job 102 is completed and kept in finished goods inventory.

Job 103 is balance which indicates the work in progress.
