  • $22,560.

Homework Answers

Answer #1

Predetermined rate = 80% based on the direct labor cost

Direct labor cost of job 23 = $12,000

Overheads applied to job 23 = Direct labor cost of job 23 x Predetermined rate

= 12,000 x 80%

= $9,600

Direct material charged to Job #23 = ?

Date Description Amount [DR. or (CR.)]
July 1 Balance $12,000
July 31 Direct labor 38,000
July 31 Direct materials 52,000
July 31 Factory overhead 30,400
July 31 Transfer to finished goods (80,000)
July 31 Work in process (ending) 52,400

Work in process (ending) =  Direct material charged to Job #23 + Direct labor cost of job 23 + Overheads applied to job 23

52,400 = Direct material charged to Job #23 + 12,000 + 9,600

Direct material charged to Job #23 = $30,800
