xeze [42]

1. The calculation of the predetermined overhead rate applied to jobs during August is <u>75% of direct labor costs</u> ($90,000/$120,000).

2. The balance in the Work in Process account at the end of August is $61,000.

3. The amounts of direct material cost and applied overhead recorded for Job 248 as of August 31 are $19,000 and $18,000, respectively.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

Work In Process Balance, August 1 $ 41,000

Direct materials used 75,000

Direct labor 120,000

Manufacturing overhead applied (based on direct labor cost) 90,000

Total costs incurred = $326,000

<h3>Finished Jobs during August: </h3>

Job # Cost of Jobs Completed

234 $ 58,000

237 65,000

231 74,500

246 67,500

Total costs of finished jobs = $265,000

Work in process balance = $61,000 ($326,000 - $265,000)

<h3>Job in Process: Job 248:</h3>

Direct labor cost incurred = $24,000

Applied overhead = $18,000 ($24,000 x 0.75)

Direct materials = $19,000 ($61,000 - $24,000 - $18,000)

Thus, the work-in-process balance represents Job 248 (Direct labor $24,000, Direct materials $19,000, and Applied Overhead $18,000).

2. Your grandfather placed $5,000 in a trust fund for you. In 12 years what will be the worth of the savings. If the estimated r

Shkiper50 [21]

With compound interest on a principal of $5,000.00 at a rate of 8% per year compounded 1 time per year over 12 years is $12,590.85.

<h3>Compound interest</h3>

Given Data

Principal = $5,000

Time = 12 years

Rate = 8%

Assuming a compounded interest approach

A = P + I where

P (principal) = $5,000.00

I (interest) = $7,590.85

Calculation Steps:

First, convert R as a percent to r as a decimal

r = R/100

r = 8/100

r = 0.08 rate per year,

Then solve the equation for A

A = P(1 + r/n)nt

A = 5,000.00(1 + 0.08/1)(1)(12)

A = 5,000.00(1 + 0.08)(12)

A = $12,590.85
