Question

Bergamo Bay Co. uses enterprise resource planning (ERP) system to combine the business activities with accounting activities. ERP system provides an integrated and continuously updated view of core business processes. The system can track business resources, i.e. cash, raw materials, etc., and shares data across various departments (manufacturing, purchasing, sales, accounting, etc.), and various stakeholders of the company. The system also can provide timely information and report to variable users within the company. On December 31, 2019 ERP system generated the following trial balance. The company’s manager knows something is wrong with the trial balance because it does not show any balance for Work in Process Inventory but does show a balance for the Factory Payroll and Factory Overhead account.

Cash $ 57,600

Accounts receivable 50,400

Raw materials inventory 31,200

Work in process inventory 0

Finished goods inventory 10,800

After examining various files, the manager identifies the following six source documents that need to be processed to bring the accounting records up to date.

Materials requisition 21-3010: $ 5,520 direct materials to Job 402

Materials requisition 21-3011: $ 9,120 direct materials to Job 404

Materials requisition 21-3012: $ 2,520 indirect materials

Labor time ticket 6052: $ 6,000 direct labor to Job 402

Labor time ticket 6053: $ 9,600 direct labor to Job 404

Labor time ticket 6054: $ 3,600 indirect labor

Jobs 402 and 404 are the only units in process at year-end. The predetermined overhead rate is 200% of direct labor cost.

Required:

(1) Prepare journal entries to assign the costs below:

(a) Direct materials costs to Work in Process Inventory.

(b) Direct labor costs to Work in Process Inventory.

(c) Overhead costs to Work in Process Inventory.

(d) Indirect materials costs to the Factory Overhead account.

(e) Indirect labor costs to the Factory Overhead account.

(2) According the entries from part (1) related to factory overhead, determine the amount of under- or overapplied overhead for the year.

(3) Prepare the adjusting entry to allocate any over- or underapplied overhead to Cost of Goods Sold, assuming the amount is not material.

Answer 1

Answer :

(1) Preparation of Journal Enteries

Date	Particulars	Debit	Credit
(a)	Work In Process Inventory	$        14,640
	Raw Materials Inventory		$ 14,640
	(To record Direct materials costs to Work in Process Inventory)
(b)	Work In Process Inventory	$        15,600
	Factory Wages Payable		$ 15,600
	(To record Direct labor costs to Work in Process Inventory)
(c.)	Work In Process Inventory	$        31,200
	Factory Overhead		$ 31,200
	(To record Overhead costs to Work in Process Inventory)
(d)	Factory Overhead	$          2,520
	Raw Material Inventory		$    2,520
	(To record Indirect materials costs to the Factory Overhead account)
(e)	Factory Overhead	$          3,600
	Factory Wages Payable		$    3,600
	(To record Indirect labor costs to the Factory Overhead account)

Notes :

(i) Total Direct Material costs = $5,520 + 9,120 = $14,640

(ii) Total Direct Labor Cost = $6,000 + 9,600 = $15,600

(iii) Overhead costs = 200% of direct labor cost. = $15600 x 200% = $31,200

(2)

Calculation of amount of under- or overapplied overhead :

Particulars	Amount
Balance of Factory overhead in trial balance	$32,400
Add : Indirect materials	$2,520
Add : Indirect labor	$3,600
Total Factory overhead Incurred	$38,520
Less : Factory Overhead Applied	-$31,200
Under Applied Factory Overhead	$7,320

So, Under Applied Factory Overhead for the Year = $7,320

(3) Adjusting entry to allocate Underapplied overhead to Cost of Goods Sold

Date	Particulars	Debit	Credit
December 31,2019	Cost of Goods Sold	$7,320
	Factory overhead		$7,320
	(To allocate Underapplied overhead to Cost of Goods Sold)
