Question

Rieb Incorporated has provided the following data for the month of September. There were no beginning inventories; consequently, the direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead applied listed below are all for the current month. Direct materials Direct labor Manufacturing overhead applied Total Work In Process $ 3,740 9,900 6,400 $ 20,040 Finished Goods $ 8,820 24,150 11,200 $ 44,170 Cost of Goods Sold $ 47,340 130,080 62,400 $ 239,820 Total $ 59,900 164,130 80,000 $ 304,030 Manufacturing overhead for the month was overapplied by $7,300. The company allocates any underapplied or overapplied overhead among work in process, finished goods, and cost of goods sold at the end of the month on the basis of the overhead applied during the month in those accounts. Required: Provide the journal entry that would record the allocation of underapplied or overapplied among work in process, finished goods, and cost of goods sold. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)

Answer 1

SOLUTION

Total manufacturing applied = 6,400 + 11,200 + 62,400 = 80,000

Calculation of amount of alloaction among work in process, finished goods and cost of goods sold-

Work in process = $7,300 * 6,400 / 80,000 = $584

Finished goods = $7,300 * 11,200 / 80,000 = $1,022

Cost of goods sold = $7,300 * 62,400 / 80,000 = $5,694

Journal entry-

Account titles and Explanation	Debit ($)	Credit ($)
Factory overhead	7,300
Work in process		584
Finished goods inventory		1,022
Cost of goods sold		5,694

**I have passed the entry assuming the overhead is under applied , however if you need the entry for over applied overhead then you need to reverse the above entries that is credit is to be debited and debit has to be credited
