Question

1. Bunnell Corporation is a manufacturer that uses job-order costing. On January 1, the company’s inventory balances were as follows:

Raw materials $40,000

Work in process $18,000

Finished goods $35,000

The company applies overhead cost to jobs on the basis of direct labor-hours. For the current year, the company’s predetermined overhead rate of $16.25 per direct labor-hour was based on a cost formula that estimated $650,000 of total manufacturing overhead for an estimated activity level of 40,000 direct labor-hours. The following transactions were recorded for the year:

• Raw materials were purchased on account, $510,000.

• Raw materials used in production, $480,000. All of of the raw materials were used as direct materials.

• The following costs were accrued for employee services: direct labor, $600,000; indirect labor, $150,000; selling and administrative salaries, $240,000.

• Incurred various selling and administrative expenses (e.g., advertising, sales travel costs, and finished goods warehousing), $367,000.

• Incurred various manufacturing overhead costs (e.g., depreciation, insurance, and utilities), $500,000.

• Manufacturing overhead cost was applied to production. The company actually worked 41,000 direct labor-hours on all jobs during the year.

• Jobs costing $1,680,000 to manufacture according to their job cost sheets were completed during the year.

• Jobs were sold on account to customers during the year for a total of $2,800,000. The jobs cost $1,690,000 to manufacture according to their job cost sheets.

Answer 1

a. journal entry to record raw materials used in production

Work in progress	$ 480,000
To Raw material		$ 480,000

b. Raw material A/C

To opening Balance	$ 40,000	By Raw material used in production	$ 480,000
To Purchase	$ 510,000	By Closing Balance	$ 70,000
Total	$ 550,000	Total	$ 550,000

c. Journal entry for Labour Cost

Direct Labour cost	$ 600,000
Indirect labour Cost	$ 150,000
Selling & administrative Salaries	$ 240,000
To Wages A/c		$ 990,000

d. Total amount of manufacturing overhead applied to production during the year is =

= 41,000 direct labour hours actually worked * $ 16.25 per direct labour hour = $ 666,250

e.Total manufacturing cost added to work in progress is

= Raw Materials + Direct labour + Manufacturing overhead

= $ 480,000 + $ 600,000 + $ 666,250

= $ 1746,250

f.

Finished Goods A/c	$ 1,680,000
To Work in Progress A/c		$ 1,680,000

g. Work in progress A/C

To Opening Balance	$ 18,000	By Finished Goods	$ 1,680,000
To Raw materials used in production	$ 480,000	By Closing Balance	$ 1,164,250
To direct labour	$ 600,000
To Manufacturing overhead	$ 1,746,250
Total	$ 2,844,250	Total	$ 2,844,250

h. Total amount of actual manufacturing oerhead incurred during the year

=indirect labour cost + various manufacturing overhead costs

= $ 150,000 + $ 500,000

= $ 650,000

i. Manufacturing over head is overapplied by $ 16,250 ($ 666,250 - $ 650,000)

j. Cost of goods available for sale is opening finished goods + finished goods during the year.

= $ 35,000 + $ 1,680,000 = $ 1,715,000

k.

Cost of Goods Sold A/C	$ 1,715,000
To Finished Goods A/c		$ 1,715,000

l. Ending balance of Finished goods

To opening Balance	$ 35,000	By cost incurred on goods sold	$ 1,690,000
To goods completed during the year	$ 1,680,000	By closing Balance	$ 25,000
Total	$ 1,715,000	Total	$ 1,715,000

m. Adjusted Cost of goods sold for the year = Cost of goods sold - Manufacturing overhead overapplied

= $ 1,715,000 - $ 16,250

= $ 1,698,750

n. Gross Margin for the year = Sale - Cost of goods sold

= $ 2,800,000 - $ 1,698,750

= $ 1,101,250

o. Net operating income for the year = $ 494,250

Gross margin = $ 1,101,250

less: sell and administrative salaries = $ 240,000

less: selling & administrative expenses = $ 367,000

= $ 494,250
