Using the following accounts and an overhead rate of 90% of direct labor cost, determine the amount of applied overhead. Work in Process Inventory Beginning WIP 20,900 Direct Materials 62,700 Direct Labor ? Applied Overhead ? To Finished Goods ? Ending WIP 42,900 Finished Goods Inventory Beginning FG 5,900 209,800 Ending FG
Applied Overhead | = | 90% of Direct labor cost |
Let Direct labor cost be x | ||
Then applied overheads would be = 90% of x or 0.9x | ||
Beginning WIP + Direct Material + Direct labor + Applied overheads = Ending WIP + Ending Finished goods | ||
$20900 + $62700 + x + 0.9x = $42900 + $209800 | ||
1.9x = $169100 | ||
x = $89000 | ||
Therefore, | ||
Direct labor cost | = | $89,000 |
Applied Overhead | = | 90% of Direct labor cost |
= | 90% X $89000 | |
= | $80,100 |
