Multiple Choice
$40,400.
$30,800.
$52,400.
$22,560.
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
