Match the following terms to the appropriate definition.

Job order costing systems normally use:

PRO, Inc. had the following activities during its most recent period of operations: (a) Purchased raw materials on account for $140,000 (both direct and indirect materials are recorded in the Raw Materials Inventory account). (b) Issued raw materials to production of $130,000 (80% direct and 20% indirect).

Austin Company uses a job order cost accounting system. The company's executives estimated that direct labor would be $2,000,000 (200,000 hours at $10/hour) and that factory overhead would be $1,500,000 for the current period. At the end of the period, the records show that there had been 180,000 hours of direct labor and $1,200,000 of actual overhead costs. Using direct labor hours as a base, what was the predetermined overhead allocation rate?

Whittier Manufacturing uses a job order cost accounting system that charges overhead to jobs on the basis of direct labor cost. Whittier used the following cost predictions: overhead costs $1,285,750, and direct labor costs of $695,000. At year-end, the company's records show that actual overhead costs for the year are $1,278,800, and actual direct labor costs are $692,000. a. Determine the predetermined overhead rate for the year. b. Compute the amount of overapplied or underapplied overhead. c. Prepare the adjusting entry to allocate the over- or underapplied overhead assuming the amount if immaterial.

A company uses a job order cost accounting system and applies overhead on the basis of direct labor cost. A summary of the company's Goods in Process Inventory account for December appears below.

(2) The company's overhead application rate is ____________________% (3) Job No. 6 had $26,550 of direct labor cost. Therefore, the job must have had $__________ of direct materials cost. (4) Job No. 8 had $73,998 of direct materials cost. Therefore, the job must have had $__________ of factory overhead cost.

Cost accounting systems accumulate costs and then assign them to products or services.

A company's predetermined overhead allocation rate is 130% based on direct labor cost. How much overhead would be allocated to Job No. 105 if it required total direct labor costs of $60,000?

At the end of June, the job cost sheets for Monson Manufacturing show the following total costs accumulated on three custom jobs. Job 203 was started in production in May and the following costs were assigned to it in May: direct materials, $12,000; direct labor, $6,000; and overhead $8,700. Jobs 204 and 205 are started in June. Overhead cost is applied with a predetermined rate based on direct labor cost. Jobs 203 and 204 are finished in June, and Job 205 will be finished in July. No raw materials are used indirectly in June. Using this information, answer the following questions assuming the company's predetermined overhead rate did not change.

If a company applies overhead to production with a predetermined rate, a credit balance in the Factory Overhead account at the end of the period means that:

If overhead applied is less than actual overhead incurred, it is:

A job cost sheet is useful for developing financial accounting numbers but does not contain information that is useful for managing the production process.

BVD Company uses a job order cost accounting system and last period incurred $80,000 of overhead and $100,000 of direct labor. BVD estimates that its overhead next period will be $75,000. It also expects to incur $100,000 of direct labor. If BVD bases applied overhead on direct labor cost, their overhead application rate for the next period should be:

The following calendar year information about the Tahoma Corporation is available on December 31: The company applies overhead on the basis of 125% of direct labor costs. Calculate the amount of over- or underapplied overhead.

Erlander Company uses a job order cost accounting system. On November 1, $15,000 of direct materials and $3,500 of indirect materials were requisitioned for production. Prepare the general journal entry to record this requisition.

Deltan Corp. allocates overhead to production on the basis of direct labor costs. Deltan's total estimated overhead is $450,000 and estimated direct labor is $180,000.
