Answer 1

(a)

	General Journal	Debit	Credit
1	Cash	$13,600
	Accounts receivable		$13,600
2	Material and equipment inventory	$10,500
	Accounts payable		$10,500
3	Accounts receivable	$141,000
	Sales revenue		$141,000
	Cash	$130,000
	Accounts receivable		$130,000
4	Manufacturing overhead	$760
	Wages payable		$760
5	Manufacturing overhead	$265
	Material and equipment inventory		$265
6	Manufacturing overhead ($660+785+430+310+435+560)	$3,180
	Selling and administrative cost-(Advertising)	710
	Cash ($3,180+710-560)		$3,330
	Accumulated depreciation		560

(b).

Actual overhead = $760 (indirect labor)+265(indirect material)+3,180(other manufacturing overhead) = $4,205

Applied overhead = $23,150 (Total direct labor cost for May)*40% = $9,260

Over applied overhead = $5,055

(c).

Material and equipment inventory = $47,000 (Beginning balance)+10,500 (Purchases)-19,700 (Direct material issued)-265 (Indirect material)

Material and equipment inventory = $37,535

Work in process inventory = $128,585 (Job 27+Job 33)+19,700 (Direct material issued)+23,150 (Direct labor cost)+9,260 (Applied overhead)-108,010 (Cost of Job 33 completed ) = $72,685

Working Note:

Cost of Job 33 completed = $91,120 ( Beginning balance)+16,890 (5,900+7,850+7,850*40%) = $108,010
