Question
The following information is available for 20X8 for Latta Company:
Actual Manufacturing Overhead total : 460,000
The overhead that had been applied to production during the year is distributed among the ending balances in the accounts as follows:
Ending Work in Process: $40,000 (including applied overhead of $19,500)
Ending Finished Goods: $120,000 (including applied overhead of $58,500)
Cost of Goods Sold for the year: $640,000 (including applied overhead of $312,000 from this year)
Total Overhead Applied = 390,000
For example, of the $40,000 ending balance in work in process, $19,500 was overhead that had been applied during the year.
If Latta Company allocated under- or over-applied overhead among WIP, FG, and COGS accounts, how much will be allocated to work in process inventory account ?
Explanation / Answer
If Latta Company allocated under- or over-applied overhead among WIP, FG, and COGS accounts, these will be allocated on the basis of amount of overhead applied during the year.
WIP = $19500 = 5%
Fiished Goods = $58500 = 15%
COGS = $312000 = 80%
Total = $39000 = 100%.
Amount allocated to WIP = $460000 - $390000 = $70000 * 5% = $3500
