4. The Apple Manufacturing Company manufactures a product exclusively to customer order, employing a job order cost system.

On August 1, 2008, its work in process inventory (5 partially completed jobs) had a cost of P3, 000. During August, no additional orders were put into production and 18 orders were completed (total cost, P24, 000) of which 14 (cost P20, 000) were shipped.

Materials requisition in August totalled P17, 000 and direct labor costs were P8, 000. At the beginning of the year 2008, a predetermined overhead rate of 150% of expected direct labor cost was established.

The August 31, 2008 work in process inventory is:

1. P4, 000
2. P16, 000
3. P14, 000
4. 20, 000

5. Job no. 210 has, at the end of the second week of February, an accumulated total cost of P4, 200. In the third week, P1, 000 of direct materials were used on the Job, together with P10 of indirect materials. Twenty hours of direct labor services were applied to the job at a cost of P5 per hour.

Manufacturing overhead was applied at the basis of P2. 50 per direct labor hour for fixed overhead and P2 per hour for variable overhead.

Job no. 210 was the only job completed during the third week. The total cost of Job Order No. 210 is:

1. P5, 390
2. P5, 350
3. P5, 360
4. P5, 400

6. M. Munda Company produces and sells rattan baskets. The number of units produced and the corresponding total production costs for six month, which are representatives for the year, are as follows:

Month                                  Units produced                                 Production costs

April                                       500                                                        P4, 000

May                                       700                                                        P8, 000

June                                       900                                                        P6, 000

July                                        600                                                        P7, 500

August                                  800                                                        P8, 500

September                          550                                                        P7, 250

                The monthly production cost can be expressed as

1. Y = a + bx
2. Y = b +ax
3. Y = ax + b
4. X = a +by

7. (SAME PROBLEM) Using the least-square method, the variable production cost per unit is

1. P5
2. P10
3. P0.27
4. P3.74

8. (SAME PROBLEM) Using the least-square method, the monthly fixed production cost is

1. P1, 500
2. P18, 000
3. P4, 350
4. P52, 200

9. (SAME PROBLEM) If the high-low points method is used, the results when compared to those under the method of least squares are

Variable cost per unit      Total fixed costs

1. Equal                                 Equal
2. Higher by P1.26               Lower by P2, 850
3. Lower by P1.26                Higher by P2, 85
4. Higher by P5                     Lower by P1, 500

Answer 1

Answer: Question 1:

Over-applied overhead that is material in amount is allocated between Finished Goods inventory, Work in process Inventory and Cost of Goods sold at year end. Over-applied factory overhead that is immaterial in amount is closed to Cost of Goods Sold at year end.:

a. First and second sentence are true

Disposition of under-applied or over-applied overhead depends on the significance of the amount involved. If the amount is immaterial, it is closed to Cost of Goods Sold.

If the amount of under-applied or over-applied overhead is significant, it should be allocated among the accounts containing applied overhead: Work in Process Inventory, Finished Goods Inventory, and Cost of Goods Sold.
