Answer 1

a. Determine the balance on the job cost sheets for Jobs 40 and 42 at the end of August.
	Job 40	Job 42
Direct material	200*20=4,000	1200*24=28,800
Direct labour	200*16 = 3,200	900*22 = 19,800
Overhead applied	200*14 = 2,800	900*14 = 12,600
Total Job cost	10,000	61,200
b. Determine the cost per unit for Jobs 40 and 42 at the end of August. If required, round your answers to the nearest cent.
Job 40 = 10,000/1,000 = 10 per unit
Job 42 = 61,200/500 = 122.40 per unit
