Cost of goods manufactured = Cost of goods available for sale - Beginning finished goods
Cost of goods manufactured = $940,000 - 115,000 = $825,000
Total manufacturing costs = Ending work in process + Cost of goods manufactured - Beginning work in process
Total manufacturing costs = $42,000 + 825,000 - 66,000 = $801,000
Direct material used = Beginning direct material + Purchases - Ending direct material
Direct material used = $77,000 + 324,000 - 40,000 = $361,000
Total manufacturing costs = Direct material used + Direct labor + Factory overhead
$801,000 = $361,000 + X + 1.2X
$801,000 = $361,000 + 2.2X
X = $440,000 / 2.2 = $200,000
Hence direct labor $200,000
Applied overhead = $200,000 * 1.2 = $240,000
Under or overapplied overhead = Actual overhead - Applied overhead
Under or overapplied overhead = $260,000 - 240,000
Underapplied overhead = $20,000
| Job 100 | |
| Direct material ($42,000-5,000-6,000) | $31,000 | 
| Direct labor (6,000/120*100) | 5,000 | 
| Factory overhead | 6,000 | 
| Total costs | $42,000 | 
The amount of direct materials charged to Job No. 100 is $31,000
