Job Costing
Part 2

The Work-in-Process Inventory account of a

manufacturing firm has a balance of $2,400
at the end of an accounting period. The job
cost sheets of two uncompleted jobs show
charges of $400 and $200 for materials used,
and charges of $300 and $500 for direct
labor used. Overhead is applied as a
percentage of direct labor costs. The
predetermined rate is:

A. 41.7%
B. 80.0%
C. 125.0%
D. 240.0%

A. 41.7%.
B. 80.0%.
C.125.0%.
D. 240.0%.
Overhead = $2,400 - (400 + 200) - (300 + 500) = $1,000; Overhead rate
= $1,000/(300 + 500) = 125.0%

Job 450 requires $9,800 of direct materials,

$6,400 of direct labor, 590 direct labor
hours, and 400 machine hours.
Manufacturing overhead is computed at
$14 per direct labor hour used and $10 per
machine hour used.
The total cost of Job 450 is:

A. $12,260.
B. $28,460.
C. $16,200.
D. $24,460.

The predetermined overhead rate for

manufacturing overhead for 2008 is $4.00 per
direct labor hour. Employees are expected to
earn $5.00 per hour and the company is planning
on paying its employees $100,000 during the
year. However, only 75% of the employees are
classified as "direct labor." What was the
estimated manufacturing overhead for 2008?

A. $75,000
B. $60,000
C. $80,000
D. $93,750

Under Pick Co.'s job order costing system,

manufacturing overhead is applied to work in
process using a predetermined annual overhead
rate. During January, Pick's transactions included
the following:

Pick had neither beginning nor ending inventory in

Work-in-Process Inventory. What was the cost of
jobs completed in January?

A. $302,000
B. $310,000
C. $322,000

Job 590 has an ending balance of

$28,500. It has been charged
manufacturing overhead costs of $7,000.
The rate is 70% of direct labor. What was
the amount of direct materials charged to
the job?

A. $21,500
B. $11,500
C. $26,400

C) $26,400
D) $19,950
Answer: B
Explanation: B) 70% (X) = $7,000
X = $10,000 Then $ 28,500 - 7,000 - 10,000 = $ 11,500

Sykes Company has sales revenue of $585,000.

Cost of goods sold before adjustment is
$335,000. The company's actual manufacturing
overhead is $91,000, while allocated
manufacturing overhead is $104,400. What is
the actual (Adjusted) gross profit?

A. $159,000
B. $236,600
C. $250,000
D. $263,400

while allocated manufacturing overhead is $104,400.
What is the actual gross profit?
Unadjusted Gross Profit: 585,000 335,000 = 250,000
Over Applied OH: 104,400 91,000 = 13,400
Adjusted Gross Profit: 250,000 + 13,400 = 263,400

Before prorating the manufacturing overhead costs at the

end of 2008, the Cost of Goods Sold and Finished Goods
Inventory had applied overhead costs of $57,500 and
$20,000 in them, respectively. There was no Work-in-Process
at the beginning or end of 2008. During the year,
manufacturing overhead costs of $74,000 were actually
incurred. The balance in the Applied Manufacturing Overhead
was $77,500 at the end of 2008. If the under or over-applied
overhead is prorated between Cost of Goods Sold and the
inventory accounts, how much will be allocated to the
Finished Goods Inventory?

A. $1,283
B. $1,217
C. $903
D. $2,597

Daguio Corporation uses direct labor-hours in its

predetermined overhead rate. At the beginning
of the year, the total estimated manufacturing
overhead was $224,580. At the end of the year,
actual direct labor-hours for the year were
18,200 hours, manufacturing overhead for the
year was under-applied by $12,100, and the
actual manufacturing overhead was $219,580.
The predetermined overhead rate for the year
must have been closest to:
A. $12.34 per machine-hour
B. $12.06 per machine-hour
C. $11.40 per machine-hour
D. $10.53 per machine-hour
