Answer 1

Answer:

a.  $195,000

b.  $423,525

c.  $412,125

d.  $434,625

e.  $665,375

f.   $525 over-applied

Explanation:

a. Cost of direct materials used.

Cost of direct materials used = Opening Materials Inventory + Materials Purchase - Ending Materials Inventory - Indirect materials

                    = $42,000 + $198,000 - $30,000 - $15,000

                    = $195,000

b. Total manufacturing costs.

Total manufacturing costs = Variable Manufacturing Costs + Fixed Manufacturing Costs

Total manufacturing costs calculation

Direct materials                                                         $195,000

Direct Labor ($150,000 - $34,500)                          $115,500

Indirect materials                                                        $15,000

Indirect labor                                                              $34,500

Other overhead costs - applied ($115,500 x 55%)  $63,525

Total Cost                                                                 $423,525

c. Cost of goods manufactured.

Cost of goods manufactured = Opening Work In Process + Total manufacturing costs - Closing Work In Process

                                                = $9,200 + $423,525 - $20,600

                                                = $412,125

d. Cost of goods sold.

Cost of goods sold = Opening Finished Goods Inventory + Cost of goods manufactured - Closing Finished Goods Inventory

                                = $56,000 + $412,125 -  $33,500

                                = $434,625

e. Gross profit.

Gross profit = Sales - Cost of goods sold

                    = $1,100,000 - $434,625

                    = $665,375

f. Overapplied or underapplied overhead

If Actual Overheads > Applied Overheads, we have under-applied overheads

and

If Applied Overheads > Actual Overheads, we have over-applied overheads

where,

Actual Overheads =  $15,000 + $34,500 + $13,500 = $63,000

Applied Overheads = $63,525

Over-applied overheads = Applied Overheads - Actual Overheads

                                         = $63,525 - $63,000

                                         = $525
