Question

The Harleysville Manufacturing Shop produces motorcycle parts. Typically, 10 pieces out of a job lot of 1,000 parts are spoiled. Costs are assigned at the inspection point, $50.00 per unit. Spoiled pieces may be disposed of at $10.00 per unit. The spoiled goods must be inventoried appropriately when the normal spoilage is detected. The current job requires the production of 2,500 good parts.Which of the following journal entries properly reflects the recording of spoiled goods?a. Materials Control $ 200Manufacturing Overhead Control $ 800Work-in-Process Control $1,000b. Materials Control $ 250Manufacturing Overhead Control $1,000Work-in-Process Control $1,250c. Work-in-Process Control $1,250Materials Control $ 250Manufacturing Overhead Control $1,000d. Manufacturing Overhead Control $1,000Materials Control $ 200Work-in-Process Control $ 800

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Materials Control $ 250

Manufacturing Overhead Control $1,000

              Work-in-Process Control $1,250

Explanation:

spoilage rate: 10/1000 = 0.01=1%

the job requires 2,500 goods parts

total part required (considering spoilage)

$\frac{requirement}{1-spolage} = total needs$

2,500 /(1-0.01) = 2500/ 0.99 = 2525.2525 = 2525

2525-2500 = 25 spoilage part

Note:

in this case you may think you can simple do 2,500 x 0.01

But if the spoilage rate is high or the amount of high is, then you will have an answer different than the correct method. Stick to the formula given.

25 part x 50 = 1,250

From the work in process, we will subtract this value, we will increase the spoilage materials inventory and charge the diference as actual overhead.

b.

Materials Control $ 250

Manufacturing Overhead Control $1,000

              Work-in-Process Control $1,250
