Answer 1

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

1. Predetermined overhead rates

= Applied overhead / Direct labor

Job 114

Applied overhead / direct labor

= $1,260/1,800

= 70%

Job 115

Applied overhead / direct labor

= $994/1,420

= 70%

Job 116

Applied overhead / direct labor

= $3,094/4,420

= 70%

2 and 3 Ending balance of each job and work in process as of April 30th.

Job 114. Job116

Opening. $2,384. $3,085

Materials

Purchases $16,800. $5,410

Direct labor

($1,800+$1,800) $3,600. $5,740

Actual $2,520 $4,018

Overhead

at 59.36%

Balance $25,304. $18,253

• Note

The whole of job 115 has been sold out.

• Actual overhead = Actual overhead / direct labor

= $4,535/7,640

= 59.36%

4 Cost of goods sold in April

Job 115

Opening materials. $2,603

Purchases. $12,460

Direct labor

($1,420 + $3,080). $4,500

Actual overhead. $3,150

at 59.36%

Cost of goods sold $22,713

5. Selling price of job

Cost of job 115 = $22,713

Selling price = 1.25% × $22,713 = $28,391
