Answer::

a.

Given

$8,000 of indirect materials ------ Factory Overhead

Work In Process = Summation of direct materials

Journal Entry

Work in Process ---$58,000

Factory Overhead --- $8,000

Materials --- $66,000

b.

Given

$12,400 of indirect labor ------ Factory Overhead

Work In Process = Summation of direct labours

Journal Entry

Work in Process ---$55,000

Factory Overhead --- $12,400

Materials --- $67,400

c.

Given

Predetermined overhead rate:

Job 301: $6,000/$8,000 = 75%

Job 302: $12,750/$17,000 = 75%

Direct Labour Cost = Summation of direct labours = $55,000

Direct labor cost * Predetermined factory overhead rate:

$55,000 × 75% = $41,250

Journal Entry

Work in Process: $41,250

Factory Overhead: $41,250

d.

Finished Goods = Summation of finished jobs (job 301 and 302)

Finished Goods = $24,000 + $49,750

Finished Goods = $73,750

Journal Entry

Finished Goods: $73,750

Work in Process: $73,750
