		Table Top	$1,600.00
		Table Leg	$450.00
		Drawer	$360.00
	The company uses a job order costing system and applies manufacturing overhead to jobs based on direct labor hours.

	The estimated manufacturing overhead cost for the month is:
	a.	Factory supervisor salary per month	$3,000.00
	b.	Rent for the factory per month	$1,200.00
	c.	Depreciation of factory equipment per month	$600.00
		Total Estimated manufacturing overhead	$4,800.00

10-Dec	The following employee costs were incurred but not paid during the month:
	There are three assembly employees that spend 2 hours each, $30 per hour to make the table for Job #1. (After you journalize this entry please enter the information into Job #1 Cost Sheet)

26-Dec	Job #1 was completed and transferred to Finished Goods during the month.
28-Dec	The completed table from Job #1 was sold on account to the customer for $21,000 during the month. (Hint: Make sure to account for the cost of the table that was sold using the cost from the job 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, $30 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)

Make sure to follow the format noted in your book (pg. 87). (Hint: This is the company's first month of operations and therefore the beginning balances will be zero.)

Step 8	Answer the additional questions below

	What is the ending balance for work in process?
	What is the ending balance for finished goods?
	What is the actual manufacturing overhead cost incurred during December before adjustment?
	What is the total applied manufacturing overhead cost during December before adjustment?
