The journal entry that would include is shown below:
Work in Progress inventory A/c Dr $125,000
Factory overhead A/c Dr $24,000
(Being labor cost is recorded)
The computation is shown below:
Work in progress = Labor expenses + whole labor expenses
=$88,000 + $37,000
= $125,000
The labor expenses are directly related to the product which means it is a direct cost

Answer:
2.41%
Explanation:
The difference between the two firms' ROEs is shown below:-
Particulars Firm HD Firm LD
Assets $200 Debt ratio 50% Debt ratio 30%
EBIT $40 Interest rate 12% Interest rate 10%
Tax rate 35%
Debt $100 $60
Interest $12 $6
($100 × 12%) ($60 × 10%)
Taxable income $28 $36
($40- $12) ($40 - $6)
Net income $18.2 $22.1
$28 × (1 - 0.35) $36 × (1 - 0.35)
Equity $100 $140
($200 - $100) ($200 - $60)
ROE 18.2% 15.79%
($18.2 ÷ $100) ($22.1 ÷ $140)
Taxable income = EBIT - Interest
Net income = Income - Taxable income
Equity = Assets - Debt
ROE = Net income ÷ Equity
Difference in ROE = ROE Firm HD - ROE Firm LD
= 18.2% - 15.79%
= 2.41%
So, for computing the difference between the two firms' ROEs we simply deduct the ROE firm LD from ROE firm HD.
