Answer 1

Solution

Firstly we have to prepare the job cost sheets:

Job cost sheet=material (from b) + labour(from d) + factory overhead(200% of direct labour)

Job cost sheet for:

Job no. 136=$48,000+$12,000+24,000=$84,000

Job no. 137=$32,000+$10,500+$21,000=$63,500

Job 138=$19,200+$37,500+$75000=$131,700

Job no. 139=$22,400+$39,000+$78,000=$139,400

Job no. 140=$6,400+$3,000+$6,000=$15,400
