Please show detailed steps. Thank you.
| (a) Value of supplies purchased in the 9 1/2 month period ended July 15, 2017 | ||||
| Accounts payable Ledger a/c ( for supplies purchased) | ||||
| 30-Sep-16 | Beginning balance | 26000 | ||
| New purchases(Plug-in figure) | 83000 | |||
| Cash payments to suppliers | 92000 | |||
| 15-Jul-17 | Ending balance | 17000 | ||
| 109000 | 109000 | |||
| So, Answer : a = 83000 | ||||
| Value of direct materials used in the 9 1/2 month period ended July 15, 2017 | ||||
| Supplies inventory ledger a/c (direct and indirect materials) | ||||
| 30-Sep-16 | Beginning balance | 130000 | ||
| New purchases | 83000 | |||
| Materials used(Plug-in figure) | 100000 | |||
| 15-Jul-17 | Ending balance | 113000 | ||
| 213000 | 213000 | |||
| Materials used(as above) | 100000 | |||
| Given: | Indirect materials used | 7800 | ||
| So, direct materials used(100000-7800)= | 92200 | |||
| (b) Value of direct labour incurred in the 9 1/2 month period ended July 15, 2017 | ||||
| Payroll (including $10,300 indirect) | 96,600 | |||
| So, direct labor(96600-10300)= | 86300 | |||
| (c) Mfg . overhead applied in the 9 1/2 month period ended July 15, 2017 | ||||
| Manufacturing overhead incurred | 27200 | |||
| Add: Over-applied overhead | 700 | |||
| Mfg. Oh applied (27200+700) | 27900 | |||
| (d) Mfg. overhead over- or under-applied for the year ended Sept 30, 2016 | ||||
| Manufacturing overhead incurred | 31500 | |||
| Manufacturing overhead applied | 34200 | |||
| MFG. OH applied > Mfg. Oh incurred | ||||
| So, over-applied by | ||||
| (34200-31500)= | ||||
| 2700 | ||||
