Answer: 5%

= 800,000 - 760,000

= 40,000 people

Unemployment rate = 40,000 / 800,000 * 100%

= 5%

Exercise 2-10 Applying Overhead Cost to a Job [LO2-2] Sigma Corporation applies overhead cost to jobs on the basis of direct lab
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

See explanations below.

Explanation:

1. Yes. Overhead should be applied to job W at year-end. Overhead is applied to every jobs whether or not they are completed at year end.

b. To calculate the amount of overhead to be applied to job W, we need to calculate first the overhead application rate based on direct labor cost through job V.

Direct labor cost. $8,000

Overhead applied $6,000

Overhead rate = [ Overhead applied / Direct labor cost ] × 100

= [6,000/8,000] × 100

= 75%

Overhead to be applied to job W

Direct labor cost $4,000

Overhead rate 75%

Overhead to be applied = $3,000

It therefore means that $3,000 should be applied to job W.

2. Because job W was not completed at the year end, it would then be included in the work in process inventory in the financial statements of Sigma Corporation at year end.
