Question

Sweeten Company had no jobs in progress at the beginning of March and no beginning inventories. It started only two jobs during March—Job P and Job Q. Job P was completed and sold by the end of the March and Job Q was incomplete at the end of the March. The company uses a plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours. The following additional information is available for the company as a whole and for Jobs P and Q (all data and questions relate to the month of March):

A) Assume the ending raw materials inventory is $1,000 and the company does not use any indirect materials. Prepare the journal entries to record raw materials purchases and the issuance of direct materials for use in production.

B) Assume that the company does not use any indirect labor. Prepare the journal entry to record the direct labor costs added to production. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)

C) Prepare the journal entry to apply manufacturing overhead costs to production. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)

D) Prepare the journal entry to transfer costs from Work in Process to Finished Goods. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)

E) Prepare a completed Work in Process T-account including the beginning and ending balances and all debits and credits posted to the account.

F) Prepare a schedule of cost of goods sold.

G) Prepare the journal entry to transfer costs from Finished Goods to Cost of Goods Sold. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)

H) What is the amount of underapplied or overapplied overhead?

Explanation / Answer

E) T- Account

Work in process inventory

F) Schedule of cost of goods sold

Raw materials used                                                                     21,000

Direct labor                                                                                   28,500

Manufacturing overhead                                                             12,000

total manufacturing cost                                                             61,500

less:Closing WIP                                                                           19,100

cost of goods sold                                                                      $42,400

Journal entry

H) underapplied overhead = 12,500 - $12,000 = $500

A Raw materials inventory $22,000 To Accounts payable/ Cash $22,000 WIP inventory $21,000 To Raw materials inventory $21,000 (13,000+8,000)
