Beginning Ending Direct materials inventory $ 9,000 $ 7,000 Work in process inventory $ 17,000 $ 31,000 Finished goods inventory $ 10,000 $ 15,000

Explanation / Answer

1) Predetermine overhead rate = 585024/22160 = 26.4 per labour hour

Under/over applied overhad= Applied overhead-actual overhead

= (22150*26.4)-585024

Under applied = 264

so answer is c) $264 under applied

2) Direct material purchase = Ending raw material+raw material used-beginning raw material

= 72000+7000-9000

Direct material purchase = 70000

so answer is b) $70000

3)  A reason why absorption costing income statements are sometimes difficult to interpret is that

so answer is b) they shift portions of fixed manufacturing overhead from period to period according to changing levels of inventories.
