Explanation / Answer

Solution a:

Predetermined overhead application rate = Estimated overhead / Budgeted direct labor cost

= $250,000/$200,000 = $1.25 per direct labor cost or 125% of direct labor cost

Solution b:

Value of ending WIP = Cost incurred on Job 3

= Direct material + Direct labor + applied overhead for job 3 = $55,000 + $80,000 + ($80000*125%) = $235,000

Solution c:

Solution d:

Total applied overhead on all jobs = $43,750 + $81,250 + $100,000 = $225,000

Actual manufacturing overhead incurred = $233,000

Overhead was underapplied, and under applied overhead = $233,000 - $225,000 = $8,000

Solution e:

Compuatation of Sales Revenue of Rock Star Particulars Job 1 Job 2 Total Direct material $145,000.00 $320,000.00 $465,000.00 Direct Labor $35,000.00 $65,000.00 $100,000.00 Applied overhead (125% of direct labor cost) $43,750.00 $81,250.00 $125,000.00 Total cost of Jobs $223,750.00 $466,250.00 $690,000.00 Profit on Cost (60%) $134,250.00 $279,750.00 $414,000.00 Sales Revenue $358,000.00 $746,000.00 $1,104,000.00
