Mango Company applies overhead based on direct labor costs. For the current year, Mango Company estimated total overhead costs to be $300,000, and direct labor costs to be $150,000. Actual overhead costs for the year totaled $330,000, and actual direct labor costs totaled $170,000. At year-end, the balance in the Factory Overhead account is a:

The Work in Process Inventory account of a manufacturing company that uses an overhead rate based on direct labor cost has a $3,200 debit balance after all posting is completed. The cost sheet of the one job still in process shows direct material cost of $1,400 and direct labor cost of $800. Therefore, the amount of the applied overhead is:

Underapplied overhead is the amount by which actual overhead cost exceeds the overhead applied to products during the period.

Booth Manufacturing uses a job order costing system that charges overhead to jobs on the basis of direct material cost. At year-end, the Work in Process Inventory account shows the following. Date Explanation Debit Credit Balance Dec. 31 Direct materials cost 980,000 980,000 31 Direct labor cost 320,000 1,300,000 31 Overhead costs 637,000 1,937,000 31 To finished goods 1,818,000 119,000 a. Determine the overhead rate used (based on direct material cost). b. Only one job remained in the Work in Process inventory at December 31. Its direct materials cost is $60,000. How much direct labor cost and overhead cost are assigned to it?

Portside Watercraft uses a job order costing system. During one month Portside purchased $173,000 of raw materials on credit; issued materials to production of $164,000 of which $24,000 were indirect.

MOB Corp. maintains an internet-based general ledger. Overhead is applied on the basis of direct labor costs. Its bookkeeper accidentally deleted most of the entries that had been recorded for January. A printout of the general ledger (in T-account form) showed the following: A review of the prior year's financial statements, the current year's budget, and January's source documents produced the following information: (1) Accounts Payable is used for raw material purchases only. January purchases were $49,000. (2) Factory overhead costs for January were $17,000 none of which is indirect materials. (3) The January 1 balance for finished goods inventory was $10,000. (4) There was a single job in process at January 31 with a cost of $2,000 for direct materials and $1,500 for direct labor. (5) Total cost of goods manufactured for January was $90,000. (6) All direct laborers earn the same rate ($13/hour). During January, 2,500 direct labor hours were worked. (7) The predetermined overhead rate is based on direct labor costs. Budgeted (expected) overhead for the year is $195,000 and budgeted (expected) direct labor is $390,000. Fill in the missing amounts a through o above in the T-accounts above.

Copy Center pays an average wage of $12 per hour to employees for printing and copying jobs, and allocates $18 of overhead for each employee hour worked.

Actual overhead costs for the year totaled $380,000, and actual direct labor costs totaled $1,800,000. At year-end, the balance in the Factory Overhead account is a:

Predetermined overhead rates are calculated before the start of the accounting period, and are therefore based on estimates.

Finished goods inventory is $190,000. If overhead applied to these goods is $72,000, and the overhead rate is 120% of direct labor, how much direct materials cost was incurred in producing the inventory?

A perpetual record of a raw materials item that records data on the quantity and cost of units purchased, units issued for use in production, and units that remain in the raw materials inventory, is called a(n):

When Factory Wages Payable costs for labor are allocated in a job cost accounting system:

The journal entry to record the usage of Direct Materials includes a debit to Work in Process Inventory.

The beginning Raw Materials Inventory balance was $22,000, and the materials used to complete jobs during the month were $141,000 of direct materials and $13,000 of indirect materials.
