Question

Jacobs Company manufactures refrigerators. The company uses a budgeted indirect-cost rate for its manufacturing operations and during 20X5 allocated $1,000,000 to work-in-process inventory. Actual overhead incurred was $1,100,000. Ending balances in the following accounts are: Work-in-Process $ 100,000 Finished Goods 750,000 Cost of Goods Sold 4,150,000 Required: a. Prepare a journal entry to write off the difference between allocated and actual overhead directly to Cost of Goods Sold. Be sure your journal entry closes the related overhead accounts. b. Prepare a journal entry that prorates the write-off of the difference between allocated and actual overhead using ending account balances. Be sure your journal entry closes the related overhead accounts.

Explanation / Answer

. Work-in-process $100,000

Finished goods 750,000

Cost of goods sold 4,150,000

Total             $5,000,000         2.0% x $100,000 = $2,000

=15.0x $100,000 = $15,000

= 83.0 x $100,000 = $83,000 100.0%

==============================

Manufacturing Overhead Allocated 1,000,000

Work-in-Process 2,000

Finished Goods 15,000

Cost of Goods Sold 83,000

Manufacturing Overhead Control 1,100,000
