Answer: $1020
Applied overhead = Work in process inventory – Direct material cost – Direct labor cost = $3300 - $1460 - $820 = $1020.
Answer: A credit to Cost of Goods Sold for $731
Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated overheads/Estimated direct labor costs = $116500/$125400 = 92.90% = 93% of direct labor costs
Overhead applied = $116700 x 93% = $108531
Actual overhead $107800 – Overhead applied $108531 = Overapplied overhead $731
The entry to close the over-applied overhead at year-end would be a debit to the factory overhead account and a credit to the cost of goods sold account for $731.
Answer: $4,960; $1,060
The cost of goods sold for May is the cost of job no. 134, $2500 and the cost of job no. 135, $2460 ($2000 + $460) which is $4960.
The work in process inventory on May 31 would include job no. 136 and hence the same would be the cost of job no. 136 which is $1060.
