Answer 1

Job Cost Sheet

	Job 171	Job 236	Job 412
Beginning balance	4390	6370	7910
Direct material	6700	4100	3900
Direct labor	5000	2800	3000
Overhead	5695	3485	3315
Total	21785	16755	18125
Unit	100
Unit price	217.85

Applied overhead = 5695+3485+3315 = 12495

Actual overhead = 10000

Over applied overhead = 2495

Adjusted cost of goods sold = (40*217.85)-2495 = 6219

Gross profit = Sales-Cost of goods sold = 12000-6219 = 5781
