Question

You work for Thunderduck Custom Tables Inc. This is the first month of operations. The company designs and manufactures specialty tables. Each table is specially customized for the customer. This month, you have been asked to develop and manufacture two new tables for customers. You will design and build the tables. This is a no nail, no screw, and no glue manufacturing ( no indirect materials used). You will be keeping track of the costs incurred to manufacture the tables using Job #1 Cost Sheet and Job #2 Cost Sheet.

The cost of the direct materials that can be used to manufacture the table are as follows. These cost are on a per unit basis.

Table Top $1,000.00

Table Leg $ 150.00

Drawer $ 300.00

The company uses a job order costing system and applies manufacturing overhead to jobs based on direct labor hours.

The company estimates that there will be 12 direct labor hours worked during the month.

The estimated manufacturing overhead cost for the month is:

a. Factory supervisor salary per month $ 2,500.00

b. Rent for the factory per month $500.00

c. Depreciation of factory equipment per month $600.00

Total Estimated manufacturing overhead $ 3,600.00

What is the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate?

Step 2 The first order you received was to manufacture a table using a table top and four legs. This is your Job #1.

Step 3 The customer that has ordered Job #2, wants a table that is the same as Job #1, but wants to also add a drawer to the table.

Step 4 The following is a list of transactions that need to be recorded for the company for activity in the month of December. Record those in the "General Journal" tab of the excel file using the proper format. Please use the following accounts: Accounts Receivables, Raw materials, Work in process, Finished goods, Accumulated depreciation, Accounts payable, Salaries and wages payable, Sales revenue, Manufacturing overhead, Cost of goods sold, Salaries and wages expense, Advertising expenses, and Depreciation expense.

1-Dec Raw Materials purchased on account, $10,000.

10-Dec The following employee costs were incurred but not paid during the month:

There are three assembly employees that spend 2 hours each, $20 per hour to make the table for Job #1. (After you journalize this entry please enter the information into Job #1 Cost Sheet)

31-Dec Direct labor cost incurred but not paid for three employees to start manufacturing Job #2. The employees only worked one hour each, three hours total, $20 per hour during the month and they did not complete their work on the job. (After you journalize this entry please enter the information into Job #2 Cost Sheet)

31-Dec Manufacturing overhead cost was applied based on direct labor hours to Job #2 based on the POHR. Only three direct labor hours were worked on Job #2 during the month. (After you journalize this entry please enter the information into Job #2 Cost Sheet)

What is the ending balance for work in process?

What is the ending balance for finished goods?
