Explanation / Answer

(a)(1) Balance in Work in Process Inventory on January 1 = 5000 + 6000 + 4200 = $15200

(a)(2) Manufacturing overhead rate = Manufacturing overhead applied / Direct labor cost

Previous year: $4200 / $6000 = 70% of direct labor cost

Current year: ($6400 + $3200) / ($8000 + $4000) = $9600 / $12000 = 80% of direct labor cost
