Answer 1

Answer:

Marcelino Co.

Total production cost incurred for April and the total cost assigned to each job:

                                      Job 306        Job 307         Job 308         Total

Total production cost

 incurred for April      $294,000      $437,500      $271,000  $1,002,500

Total cost assigned    $356,500     $507,000      $271,000   $1,134,500

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

March 31 inventory of

raw materials =                       $88,000

April costs:

Raw materials purchases = $540,000

Factory payroll cost =          $380,000

Overhead costs incurred = $206,000

Total costs =                       $1,214,000

April ending WIP inventory    271,000

Total cost incurred             $943,000

Overhead costs incurred:

Indirect materials = $59,000

Indirect labor = $25,000

Factory rent = $38,000

Factory utilities = $23,000

Factory equipment depreciation = $61,000

Total factory overhead = $206,000

Predetermined overhead rate = 50% of DLC

Sales of Job 306 in April = $655,000 cash

                                      Job 306        Job 307         Job 308         Total
