Supervisors’ salaries and computer services are among the costs incurred in a factory.

Costs
expected at a range of activity levels are: Activities (units) 125,000 150,000 175,000 200,000
Costs: ($) Supervisors’ salaries 60,000 66,000 66,000 72,000 Computer services 42,000 46,000
50,000 54,000 Which of the following classifications could describe the cost behaviour?
Supervisors’ salaries Computer services
Let's analyze the cost behavior for both supervisors' salaries and computer services:

Supervisors' Salaries
The costs for supervisors' salaries are:

125,000 units: $60,000

150,000 units: $66,000

175,000 units: $66,000

200,000 units: $72,000

The pattern here shows that the cost increases with more activity but has a fixed component as
well. This indicates that supervisors' salaries could be classified as a step-variable cost. It
remains constant over certain ranges of activity levels and then increases in steps as activity
levels go up.

Computer Services
The costs for computer services are:

125,000 units: $42,000

150,000 units: $46,000

175,000 units: $50,000

200,000 units: $54,000

The costs increase in a linear manner as the activity level increases. This is indicative of a
variable cost, which changes in direct proportion to the level of activity.

In summary:

Supervisors' salaries: Step-variable cost

Computer services: Variable cost

This classification captures the behavior of both costs accurately.

Perteet Corporation's relevant range of activity is 6300 units to 12,500 units. When it produces
and sells 9400 units, its average costs per unit are as follows: Average Cost per Unit Direct

In this scenario, if TEK, Inc. keeps the old machine, the trade-in value of the old equipment
represents the potential benefit they are foregoing by not trading it in for the newer model. This
foregone benefit is an example of:

d. opportunity cost
Opportunity cost refers to the value of the next best alternative that is forgone when a decision is
made. In this case, it is the value that TEK, Inc. could have received from trading in the old
machine.

When total purchases of raw material exceed 30,000 units in any one period then all units
purchased, including the initial 30,000, are invoiced at a lower cost per unit. Which of the
following graphs is consistent with the behaviour of the total materials cost in a period?
For the given scenario, we need a graph that reflects a reduction in the total material cost per unit
once the purchase exceeds 30,000 units. This behavior is consistent with a step function where
the cost decreases at a specific point (30,000 units).

Below are the characteristics of the graph:

From 0 to 30,000 units, the total material cost increases linearly.

At 30,000 units, there is a noticeable drop in the total material cost.

After the drop, the total material cost continues to increase linearly, but at a lower rate than
before.

A consistent graph would show a step-like decrease at the 30,000 unit mark, followed by a lower
slope.

Unfortunately, I can’t display graphs directly here. But imagine a graph where there’s a sharp
decrease or “step down” at the 30,000-unit mark, and the line continues with a less steep slope
after that point. This step-like pattern accurately represents the reduced cost per unit after
crossing the threshold.

Business X hires a machine which is used in the final packaging process in its warehouse. A
basic fixed monthly amount is paid for the machine with an additional charge for each unit
packaged. The number of units packaged varies from period to period. Which of the following
is/are true about the cost of the machine hire to Business X? Select ALL that apply. The total cost
per unit packaged will decrease as packaging activity rises The total cost per unit packaged will
vary from period to period The total cost per unit packaged will increase as packaging activity
rises
Given the scenario, the cost of hiring the machine has both fixed and variable components.
Here’s the analysis for each statement:

The total cost per unit packaged will decrease as packaging activity rises: This is true. As the
number of units packaged increases, the fixed cost is spread over more units, thereby reducing
the total cost per unit.

The total cost per unit packaged will vary from period to period: This is true. Because the total
cost includes a variable component that changes with the number of units packaged, the total cost
per unit will vary from period to period depending on the level of activity.

The total cost per unit packaged will increase as packaging activity rises: This is false. While the
total cost will increase as more units are packaged, the total cost per unit packaged will actually
decrease, as explained in point 1.

So, the true statements are:

The total cost per unit packaged will decrease as packaging activity rises

The total cost per unit packaged will vary from period to period

In the Vasquez Company, any over- or under-absorbed overhead is closed out to Cost of Goods
Sold. Last year, the company incurred $27,000 in actual manufacturing overhead cost, and
applied $29,000 of overhead cost to jobs. The beginning and ending balances of Finished Goods
were equal, and the Company's Cost of Goods Manufactured for the year totaled $71,000. Given
this information, Cost of Goods Sold, after adjustment for any over- or under-absorbed overhead,
for the year must have been: Answer:
To determine the adjusted Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) for Vasquez Company, we need to

Let's review each statement:

a. Depreciation is part of production overheads – True. Depreciation on assets used in the

production process is included in production overheads (indirect costs).

b. Depreciation is a non-cash expense – True. Depreciation does not involve any actual cash
outlay; it's an allocation of the cost of an asset over its useful life.

c. Indirect labour for a factory will be labour working outside the factory – False. Indirect labour
refers to workers within the factory who do not directly contribute to the production of goods
(e.g., supervisors, maintenance workers), not workers outside the factory.

d. The prime cost is the sum of all the production overheads – False. Prime cost is the sum of
direct materials and direct labour, not production overheads.
e. Rent on a factory building used in the production process would be classified as a period cost
and as a fixed cost – False. Rent on a factory building is typically classified as a fixed cost, but it
is not a period cost. It's considered a product cost, specifically part of production overheads, as it
relates to the factory used in manufacturing.

costs.

c. Fixed costs remain constant in both the short-term and long run – False. As mentioned in (a),
fixed costs are constant in the short term but can change in the long run.

d. Variable costs are constant in total when activity levels alter – False. Variable costs change in
total with changes in activity levels. They vary directly with the level of production or output.

e. Variable costs per unit are affected by changes in activity – False. Variable costs per unit
remain constant regardless of activity levels. The total variable cost, however, will change with
the level of activity.

To calculate the total production cost per unit of product X, we need to sum the costs associated
with direct materials, direct labour, variable overheads, and fixed overheads.

Given:

Prime costs = $50.80 per unit (this includes direct materials and direct labour)
Direct materials = $19.60 per unit
Direct labour = 2.6 hours per unit at $12.00 per hour = 2.6 × $12.00 = $31.20 per unit
Variable overheads = $1.40 per direct labour hour = 2.6 hours × $1.40 = $3.64 per unit
Fixed overheads = $15.20 per direct labour hour = 2.6 hours × $15.20 = $39.52 per unit
Now, we can sum these costs:

To find the total production engineering cost per machine-hour at an activity level of 8900
machine-hours, we need to consider both the variable and fixed costs.

Step 1: Calculate the variable cost per machine-hour

The variable cost per machine-hour is calculated by dividing the total variable cost at the given
activity level by the number of machine-hours:

Variable cost per machine-hour

=
Total variable production engineering cost
Machine-hours at activity level
Variable cost per machine-hour=
Machine-hours at activity level
Total variable production engineering cost

Variable cost per machine-hour

=

8700
=
83.74
per machine-hour
Variable cost per machine-hour=
8700
728,190

=83.74 per machine-hour

Step 2: Calculate the fixed cost per machine-hour
The fixed cost per machine-hour does not change with the activity level, so it remains constant at
the relevant range. The fixed cost per machine-hour is calculated by dividing the total fixed
production engineering cost by the number of machine-hours:

Fixed cost per machine-hour

=
Total fixed production engineering cost
Machine-hours at activity level
Fixed cost per machine-hour=
Machine-hours at activity level
Total fixed production engineering cost

Fixed cost per machine-hour

=
232
,
290
8700
=
26.70
per machine-hour
Fixed cost per machine-hour=
8700
232,290

=26.70 per machine-hour

Step 3: Calculate the total cost per machine-hour at 8900 machine-hours
At an activity level of 8900 machine-hours, the total production engineering cost per machine-
hour is the sum of the variable cost per machine-hour and the fixed cost per machine-hour:

Total cost per machine-hour

=
Variable cost per machine-hour
+
Fixed cost per machine-hour
Total cost per machine-hour=Variable cost per machine-hour+Fixed cost per machine-hour
Total cost per machine-hour
=
83.74
+
26.70
=
110.44
Total cost per machine-hour=83.74+26.70=110.44
Step 4: Adjust for the given options
The closest value to our calculated total cost per machine-hour (110.44) seems to be 109.98
based on rounding considerations.

The correct answer is B. $109.98.

ChatGPT đã nói:
ChatGPT
Let's evaluate each cost to determine which can be classified as semi-variable:

a. Materials purchased – Not semi-variable. Materials purchased are typically variable costs, as
they change directly with the level of production.
b. Rent – Not semi-variable. Rent is generally considered a fixed cost, as it doesn't change with
the level of activity unless there is a change in the contract.
c. Telephone expenses – Semi-variable. Telephone expenses can be semi-variable because they
typically include a fixed component (e.g., a base charge for the service) and a variable
component (e.g., additional charges based on usage).
d. A production manager’s salary – Not semi-variable. The salary of a production manager is
typically a fixed cost, as it doesn't vary with the level of production.
e. Electricity expenses – Semi-variable. Electricity expenses can be semi-variable because there
is usually a fixed charge (e.g., connection fees) and a variable component based on the amount of
electricity used, which varies with production levels.
Correct answers: c. Telephone expenses, e. Electricity expenses.

The nursing station on the fourth floor of Central Hospital is responsible for the care of patients
who have undergone orthopedic surgery. The costs of drugs administered by the nursing station
to patients would be classified as:

The costs of drugs administered to patients at the nursing station are directly related to the care
of the patients. These drugs are consumed by the patients and are a direct part of their treatment.

Let's review the options:

a. Overhead costs of the nursing station – Incorrect. Overhead costs refer to indirect costs that are
not directly traceable to specific patients or activities, such as administrative expenses. Drugs are
directly related to patient care, not overhead.

b. Direct costs of the patients – Correct. The costs of drugs administered to patients are directly
tied to the treatment of those patients and can be traced to them, making them direct costs.
c. Period costs of the hospital – Incorrect. Period costs refer to costs that are expensed in the
period in which they are incurred, such as administrative or selling expenses. The drugs
administered are directly related to patient care, so they are not considered period costs.

d. Indirect costs of the patients – Incorrect. Indirect costs are those that cannot be traced directly
to a specific patient, such as overhead. The cost of drugs is directly traceable to the individual
patient, so it is a direct cost.

Correct answer: b. Direct costs of the patients.

SW Ltd’s only product is a patient management software system that it licenses to hospitals. It
charges a fee per user licence. In recent years, the company has enjoyed healthy revenues and
profit margins due to a lack of competition. Recently, a new competitor entered the market and
SW Ltd lost three customers that accounted for 20% of Revenues. The management at SW Ltd
were surprised by the impact on the net profits of the company. Revenue fell by $400,000 and
net profits fell by $350,000, despite the company having a net profit margin of 40%. As the new
management accountant for SW Ltd, which of the following theories on the cause is most likely
to be TRUE?

a.
The unexpected drop in profits indicate that SW Ltd has not properly defined its cost objects and
assigned its direct costs.

b.
It is likely that cost behaviours are the cause of the above. However, further information is
required to determine the cost behaviours for SW Ltd.
c.
As the company is a software developer, a higher proportion of costs are likely to be fixed costs.
Due to cost behaviours, the cost per user licence for remaining customers will have increased,
reducing profitability on remaining user licences.

d.
The above results indicate that there is an issue with cost control in the company. As the net
profit margin of the company is 40%, profit should have only fallen by $160,000.

ChatGPT
Let's evaluate each option and the situation described:

Situation:
SW Ltd lost 3 customers, accounting for 20% of revenue.
Revenue fell by $400,000, and net profits fell by $350,000, despite a 40% net profit margin.
The significant drop in profits compared to revenue loss indicates that the cost structure might be
a factor.
Analysis of options:
a. "The unexpected drop in profits indicate that SW Ltd has not properly defined its cost objects
and assigned its direct costs."

This option suggests a problem with cost allocation. However, the situation described is more
related to the cost behavior rather than misallocation. The problem lies in the proportion of fixed
costs and how they behave when revenue decreases. So, this option is unlikely to be true.
b. "It is likely that cost behaviours are the cause of the above. However, further information is
required to determine the cost behaviours for SW Ltd."

This option correctly hints at cost behavior being a potential cause, specifically how costs behave
when revenue decreases. To assess the exact cause, further information about the cost structure
(fixed vs. variable) is needed, but cost behavior is indeed likely the main factor. This option is
plausible.
c. "As the company is a software developer, a higher proportion of costs are likely to be fixed
costs. Due to cost behaviours, the cost per user licence for remaining customers will have
increased, reducing profitability on remaining user licences."

This is a strong option. In software businesses, many costs (such as development, support, and
licensing infrastructure) are fixed. When revenue decreases (e.g., losing customers), the fixed
costs don't decrease proportionally, leading to a higher cost per unit (or per remaining user
licence), which reduces profitability on the remaining sales. This is likely true based on the
nature of software businesses.
d. "The above results indicate that there is an issue with cost control in the company. As the net
profit margin of the company is 40%, profit should have only fallen by $160,000."

This option is incorrect. The net profit margin of 40% suggests that for every $1 of revenue,
$0.40 is profit. A $400,000 drop in revenue would result in a $160,000 drop in profits if variable
costs were the only concern. However, the larger drop in profits indicates that fixed costs (cost
behavior) are likely causing the larger-than-expected profit reduction. Therefore, this option
doesn't fully explain the situation and is not likely to be true.
Conclusion:
The most likely cause of the unexpected drop in profits is related to cost behaviors, especially the
impact of fixed costs that don't decrease proportionally with reduced revenues.

Correct answer: c. As the company is a software developer, a higher proportion of costs are
likely to be fixed costs. Due to cost behaviours, the cost per user licence for remaining customers
will have increased, reducing profitability on remaining user licences.

Let's evaluate each option to determine the best explanation for why indirect costs are usually
allocated rather than traced to cost objects:

a. Allocation is required by external reporting requirements

This is not entirely true. External reporting requirements (like GAAP or IFRS) require the
allocation of some indirect costs (like overhead), but the main reason for allocating indirect costs
is not solely due to reporting standards. This option is not the best explanation.
b. Allocation is more convenient than tracing
While allocation is often more practical, the real reason indirect costs are allocated is related to
the difficulty of directly tracing them to specific cost objects. Convenience is a secondary reason,
not the primary one. This is a plausible explanation but not the most accurate.
c. Overall accuracy is improved by allocation
This is not correct. Allocation does not necessarily improve accuracy; in fact, it may reduce
accuracy because it involves estimating how much of the indirect cost should be assigned to each
cost object, often leading to less precise results than direct tracing. Therefore, this option is not
the correct reason.
d. No causal relationship exists between indirect costs and the cost object
This is the most accurate explanation. Indirect costs (like factory rent or utilities) are typically
incurred to support multiple cost objects, and there is no straightforward way to trace these costs
directly to a specific product or service. Since no direct causal relationship exists between the
cost and a specific cost object, these costs must be allocated using some basis (e.g., machine
hours, labor hours). This option is the best explanation.
Conclusion:
The best explanation for why indirect costs are usually allocated rather than traced is d. No
causal relationship exists between indirect costs and the cost object.

Let's break down the information provided to calculate the manufacturing overhead:

Given:
Direct labor cost = $17,000
Direct labor cost is 60% of prime cost.
Total manufacturing costs = $82,000
Step 1: Calculate prime cost.
Prime cost includes direct materials and direct labor. Since direct labor is 60% of prime cost, we
can use the following formula:

Direct labor
=
60
%
×
Prime cost
Direct labor=60%×Prime cost
17
,
000
=
0.60
×
Prime cost
17,000=0.60×Prime cost
Solve for Prime cost:

Prime cost
=
17
,
000
0.60
=
28
,
333.33
Prime cost=
0.60
17,000

=28,333.33
So, prime cost is $28,333.33.

Step 2: Calculate direct materials.

Prime cost = Direct labor + Direct materials. We know direct labor is $17,000, so:

28
,
333.33
=
17
,
000
+
Direct materials
28,333.33=17,000+Direct materials
Direct materials
=
28
,
333.33
−
17
,
000
=
11
,
333.33
Direct materials=28,333.33−17,000=11,333.33
So, direct materials = $11,333.33.

Step 3: Calculate manufacturing overhead.

Total manufacturing costs include prime cost and manufacturing overhead:
Total manufacturing costs
=
Prime cost
+
Manufacturing overhead
Total manufacturing costs=Prime cost+Manufacturing overhead
We are given that total manufacturing costs are $82,000, and prime cost is $28,333.33, so:

82
,
000
=
28
,
333.33

Manufacturing overhead
82,000=28,333.33+Manufacturing overhead
Solve for manufacturing overhead:

Manufacturing overhead
=

,
000
−
28
,
333.33
=

,
666.67
Manufacturing overhead=82,000−28,333.33=53,666.67
Final answer:
The manufacturing overhead is $53,667 (rounded).

Correct answer: a. $53,667.

Which of the following classifications could describe the cost behaviour?
Supervisors’ salaries
Computer services
ChatGPT đã nói:
ChatGPT
To classify the cost behavior of supervisors' salaries and computer services, let's analyze how
these costs change with activity levels.

Supervisors' Salaries
The salaries increase from $60,000 to $72,000 as the activity level goes from 125,000 to 200,000
units, but there is a jump to $66,000 at the 150,000-unit level, and it stays the same at that level
(150,000 and 175,000 units).
This indicates that supervisors' salaries are semi-variable. They have a fixed component (salaries
that remain the same from 150,000 to 175,000 units) and a variable component (they increase at
higher activity levels, but not in a strictly linear fashion).
Computer Services
The costs for computer services increase from $42,000 to $54,000 as the activity level increases
from 125,000 to 200,000 units, with the increase being relatively consistent.
The increases in cost appear to be linear, suggesting that computer services are a variable cost,
where the total cost increases proportionally with activity level.
Summary of Cost Behavior:
Supervisors’ salaries: Semi-variable (a mix of fixed and variable components).
Computer services: Variable (increase in direct proportion to activity level).

Let's break down the given information and calculate the total manufacturing overhead cost
when 6,800 units are produced.

Given:
Relevant range of activity: 6,300 units to 12,500 units
When 9,400 units are produced, the average costs per unit are:
Direct materials: $7.20
Direct labor: $3.65
Variable manufacturing overhead: $1.70
Fixed manufacturing overhead: $2.90
Total manufacturing overhead includes:
Variable manufacturing overhead: $1.70 per unit
Fixed manufacturing overhead: $2.90 per unit (fixed, doesn't change with activity level)
Step 1: Calculate the variable manufacturing overhead for 6,800 units
The variable manufacturing overhead per unit is $1.70, so:

Variable manufacturing overhead

=
1.70
×
6
,
800
=
11
,
560
Variable manufacturing overhead=1.70×6,800=11,560
Step 2: Calculate the fixed manufacturing overhead
Since fixed manufacturing overhead is fixed, it remains the same regardless of the number of
units produced. When 9,400 units are produced, the fixed overhead is:

Fixed manufacturing overhead per unit

=
2.90
Fixed manufacturing overhead per unit=2.90
Thus, the total fixed manufacturing overhead is:

Fixed manufacturing overhead total

=
2.90
×
9
,
400
=
27
,
260
Fixed manufacturing overhead total=2.90×9,400=27,260
This value stays the same when producing 6,800 units.

Step 3: Calculate the total manufacturing overhead when 6,800 units are produced
Now, we can find the total manufacturing overhead by adding the variable manufacturing
overhead and the fixed manufacturing overhead:
Total manufacturing overhead

ChatGPT đã nói:
ChatGPT
The trade-in value of the old equipment is the amount TEK could receive if they decide to
replace the old machine. This represents the foregone opportunity of not selling the old machine
if they decide to keep it.

Let's evaluate the options:

a. Avoidable cost: Avoidable costs are costs that can be eliminated if a decision is made (e.g.,
discontinuing a product). The trade-in value is not avoidable, it represents a lost opportunity. So,
this is not the correct answer.

b. Sunk cost: Sunk costs are costs that have already been incurred and cannot be recovered,
regardless of the decision made. The trade-in value is not a sunk cost because it is an amount that
can be recovered by trading in the old machine. So, this is not the correct answer.

c. Imputed cost: Imputed costs are hypothetical or non-cash costs that are used for decision-
making purposes. The trade-in value is a real, recoverable amount, not an imputed cost. So, this
is not the correct answer.

d. Opportunity cost: Opportunity costs represent the benefits that are foregone by choosing one
option over another. In this case, the trade-in value represents the opportunity TEK would lose if
they keep the old machine rather than trading it in for the newer model. This is the correct
answer.

e. Committed fixed cost: Committed fixed costs are costs that the company must incur regardless
of the decision. The trade-in value is not a fixed cost, so this is not the correct answer.

Correct answer: d. Opportunity cost.

To determine the amounts that should be considered product and period costs for the first year of
coverage, we need to allocate the prepaid insurance premium based on the factory operations
(product cost) and selling and administrative activities (period cost).

Given:
Total premium for three years = $3,000
Three-fourths of the premium applies to factory operations (product cost).
One-fourth applies to selling and administrative activities (period cost).

packaged. The number of units packaged varies from period to period. Which of the following
is/are true about the cost of the machine hire to Business X? Select ALL that apply. The total cost

Let's break down the cost structure described for Business X's machine hire:

Basic fixed monthly amount: This cost does not change with the number of units packaged; it is a
fixed cost.
Additional charge per unit packaged: This is a variable cost, as it depends on the number of units
packaged.
Now, let's evaluate each statement:

1. The total cost per unit packaged will decrease as packaging activity rises.
True. The total cost per unit is made up of the fixed cost (which is constant) and the variable cost
(which increases with the number of units). As more units are packaged, the fixed cost is spread
over a larger number of units, reducing the total cost per unit.
2. The total cost per unit packaged will vary from period to period.
True. The total cost per unit will vary because the variable cost depends on the number of units
packaged, which can change from period to period. As packaging activity varies, the total cost
per unit will also vary.
3. The total cost per unit packaged will increase as packaging activity rises.
False. The total cost per unit will not increase as activity rises. The variable cost per unit stays
the same, and the fixed cost is spread across more units, reducing the total cost per unit. Hence,
total cost per unit will decrease, not increase, as packaging activity rises.
Conclusion:
The true statements are:

The total cost per unit packaged will decrease as packaging activity rises.
The total cost per unit packaged will vary from period to period.

Answer:
ChatGPT đã nói:
ChatGPT
To calculate the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) after adjusting for over- or under-absorbed
overhead, we need to follow these steps:

Step 1: Calculate the over- or under-absorbed overhead.

Applied overhead: $29,000
Actual overhead: $27,000
Over-absorbed overhead means the applied overhead exceeds the actual overhead, and under-
absorbed overhead means the applied overhead is less than the actual overhead.

Here, the applied overhead ($29,000) is greater than the actual overhead ($27,000), so there is
over-absorbed overhead of:

Over-absorbed overhead
=
29
,
000
−
27
,
000
=
2
,
000
Over-absorbed overhead=29,000−27,000=2,000
Step 2: Adjust the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) for the over-absorbed overhead.
Since the over-absorbed overhead is $2,000, it needs to be subtracted from the initial COGS
figure to adjust for the over-application.

Step 3: Calculate the initial COGS before adjustment.

We can use the formula for COGS:

COGS
=
Beginning Finished Goods
+
Cost of Goods Manufactured
−
Ending Finished Goods
COGS=Beginning Finished Goods+Cost of Goods Manufactured−Ending Finished Goods
Since the beginning and ending balances of Finished Goods are equal, they cancel out, so the
formula simplifies to:

COGS
=
Cost of Goods Manufactured
=
71
,
000
COGS=Cost of Goods Manufactured=71,000
Step 4: Adjust for the over-absorbed overhead.
Now we subtract the $2,000 over-absorbed overhead from the initial COGS:
Adjusted COGS
=
71
,
000
−
2
,
000
=
69
,

Adjusted COGS=71,000−2,000=69,000
Final Answer:
The adjusted Cost of Goods Sold for the year is $69,000.

Determined whether these statements below are TRUE or FALSE: Hospital would be most likely
to use a job-order costing system. In a job-order cost system, indirect labor is assigned to a job
by using the labor time ticket as a source document. In a job-order cost system, salaries for
factory supervisor should be charged directly to the Work in Process account. On the Schedule of
Cost of Goods Manufactured, the final Cost of Goods Manufactured figure represents the amount
of cost of goods completed during the current year whether they were started before or during the
current year. The assignment of direct labour costs to individual jobs is based on the estimated
time spent on each job multiplied by the wage rate.
Sure, here are the statements evaluated as TRUE or FALSE:
1. Hospital would be most likely to use a job-order costing system.
o TRUE
 o Explanation: Hospitals track costs for individual patients, making job-order
costing appropriate as each patient's treatment is a separate "job."
2. In a job-order cost system, indirect labor is assigned to a job by using the labor time
ticket as a source document.
o FALSE

o Explanation: Indirect labor costs are not assigned to specific jobs using labor
time tickets. Instead, they are generally included in manufacturing overhead and
allocated across all jobs.
3. In a job-order cost system, salaries for factory supervisors should be charged

4Es Corporation uses direct labor-hours in its predetermined overhead rate. At the beginning of
the year, the total estimated manufacturing overhead was $221,100. At the end of the year, actual
direct labor-hours for the year were 14,400 hours, manufacturing overhead for the year was
overapplied by $21,500, and the actual manufacturing overhead was $216,100. The
predetermined overhead rate for the year must have been closest to $
To find the predetermined overhead rate for 4Es Corporation, we can use the following formula:
Predetermined Overhead Rate=Estimated Total Manufacturing OverheadEstimated Total Direct
Labor-Hours\text{Predetermined Overhead Rate} = \frac{\text{Estimated Total Manufacturing
Overhead}}{\text{Estimated Total Direct Labor-Hours}}
First, we need to find the estimated total direct labor-hours. We can determine this using the
given information:
1. Actual manufacturing overhead: $216,100
2. Overapplied overhead: $21,500
3. Estimated manufacturing overhead: $221,100
Since overhead was overapplied, it means the applied overhead was more than the actual
overhead. Therefore:
Applied Overhead=Actual Manufacturing Overhead+Overapplied Overhead\text{Applied
Overhead} = \text{Actual Manufacturing Overhead} + \text{Overapplied Overhead}
Applied Overhead=216,100+21,500=237,600\text{Applied Overhead} = 216,100 + 21,500 =
237,600
Given that the applied overhead is determined by the predetermined rate and actual direct labor-
hours:
Applied Overhead=Predetermined Overhead Rate×Actual Direct Labor-Hours\text{Applied
Overhead} = \text{Predetermined Overhead Rate} \times \text{Actual Direct Labor-Hours}
237,600=Predetermined Overhead Rate×14,400237,600 = \text{Predetermined Overhead Rate} \
times 14,400
Now, we can solve for the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined Overhead Rate=237,60014,400≈16.50 per direct labor-hour\text{Predetermined
Overhead Rate} = \frac{237,600}{14,400} \approx 16.50 \text{ per direct labor-hour}
So, the predetermined overhead rate for the year must have been closest to $16.50 per direct
labor-hour.
UniStar Manufacturing Company produces nameplates and uses a job-order cost system. The

material cost. At the end of June, only one job was in Work in Process inventory. This job had
been charged with $150 of direct material cost. What is the direct labor cost assigned to this job?
$Trả lời
To find the direct labor cost assigned to the job in Work in Process inventory at the end of June,
we first need to determine the total manufacturing costs incurred for the job.
Given:
 Direct material cost for the job: $150
 Predetermined overhead rate: 60% of direct material cost
The manufacturing overhead applied to the job is:
Manufacturing Overhead=150×60%=150×0.60=90\text{Manufacturing Overhead} = 150 \times
60\% = 150 \times 0.60 = 90
Next, let's determine the total cost assigned to the job in Work in Process inventory, which
should include direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead. We know that only
one job was in WIP, and the total WIP at the end of June includes this job's costs.
The total cost of the nameplates completed during June is $4,300. To find the direct labor cost for
the job in WIP, we can subtract the costs of completed nameplates from the total costs of
production:
Total costs incurred during June for all jobs:
Total Costs=Work in Process (June 1)+Direct Materials+Direct Labor+Manufacturing Overhead\
text{Total Costs} = \text{Work in Process (June 1)} + \text{Direct Materials} + \text{Direct
Labor} + \text{Manufacturing Overhead}
Total Costs=620+1,800+1,200+(1,800×0.60)\text{Total Costs} = 620 + 1,800 + 1,200 + (1,800 \
times 0.60)
Total Costs=620+1,800+1,200+1,080\text{Total Costs} = 620 + 1,800 + 1,200 + 1,080
Total Costs=4,700\text{Total Costs} = 4,700
Total cost of nameplates completed:
Cost of Nameplates Completed=4,300\text{Cost of Nameplates Completed} = 4,300
Total cost for the job in WIP:
Cost for Job in WIP=4,700−4,300=400\text{Cost for Job in WIP} = 4,700 - 4,300 = 400
Cost for job in WIP includes:
Cost for Job in WIP=Direct Materials+Manufacturing Overhead+Direct Labor\text{Cost for Job
in WIP} = \text{Direct Materials} + \text{Manufacturing Overhead} + \text{Direct Labor}
400=150+90+Direct Labor400 = 150 + 90 + \text{Direct Labor}
So, solving for Direct Labor:
Direct Labor=400−150−90=160\text{Direct Labor} = 400 - 150 - 90 = 160
Therefore, the direct labor cost assigned to the job in Work in Process inventory is $160.
Er Inc. has provided the following data for the month of March. The balance in the Finished
Goods inventory account at the beginning of the month was $43,000 and at the end of the month
was $42,000. The cost of goods manufactured for the month was $221,000. The actual
manufacturing overhead cost incurred was $45,000 and the manufacturing overhead cost applied
to Work in Process was $49,000. The adjusted cost of goods sold that would appear on the
income statement for March is: a. $226,000 b. $222,000 c. $220,000 d. $221,000 e. All are
incorrect
To determine the adjusted cost of goods sold (COGS) for March, we need to consider the
following data and perform the necessary calculations:
1. Finished Goods Inventory at the beginning of the month: $43,000
2. Finished Goods Inventory at the end of the month: $42,000
3. Cost of Goods Manufactured during the month: $221,000
4. Actual Manufacturing Overhead Cost Incurred: $45,000
5. Manufacturing Overhead Cost Applied to Work in Process: $49,000
Let's calculate the unadjusted COGS first:
Unadjusted COGS=Beginning Finished Goods Inventory+Cost of Goods Manufactured−Ending
Finished Goods Inventory\text{Unadjusted COGS} = \text{Beginning Finished Goods
Inventory} + \text{Cost of Goods Manufactured} - \text{Ending Finished Goods Inventory}
Unadjusted COGS=43,000+221,000−42,000=222,000\text{Unadjusted COGS} = 43,000 +
221,000 - 42,000 = 222,000
Next, we need to adjust the COGS for the overapplied or underapplied overhead. The difference
between the actual manufacturing overhead and the applied overhead indicates whether the
overhead was overapplied or underapplied:
Overapplied Overhead=Applied Overhead−Actual Overhead\text{Overapplied Overhead} = \
text{Applied Overhead} - \text{Actual Overhead}
Overapplied Overhead=49,000−45,000=4,000\text{Overapplied Overhead} = 49,000 - 45,000 =
4,000
Since the overhead was overapplied, we subtract this amount from the unadjusted COGS to get
the adjusted COGS:
Adjusted COGS=Unadjusted COGS−Overapplied Overhead\text{Adjusted COGS} = \
text{Unadjusted COGS} - \text{Overapplied Overhead}
Adjusted COGS=222,000−4,000=218,000\text{Adjusted COGS} = 222,000 - 4,000 = 218,000
Given that none of the options match 218,000, the correct answer would be e. All are incorrect.
Walter Company uses a job-order costing system to account for product costs. The following
information pertains for a period: Materials placed into production: £140,000 Indirect labour:
40,000 Direct labour (10,000 hours): 160,000 Depreciation of factory building: 60,000 Other
factory overhead: 100,000 Increase in work-in-progress inventory: 30,000 Factory overhead rate
is £18 per direct labour hour. What is the total amount credited to Materials (Stores ledger
account) for Walter for the period? £Trả lời (without comma add) What is the total amount
debited to Finished Goods Inventory for the period? £Trả lời (without comma add) A journal
entry debiting Work in Progress would normally NOT be accompanied by a credit to Trả lời
Let's break down each question and find the answers:
1. Total amount credited to Materials (Stores ledger account) for Walter for the
period: The total amount credited to the Materials account is the cost of materials placed
into production.
o Answer: 140000

2. Total amount debited to Finished Goods Inventory for the period: The amount
debited to Finished Goods Inventory is the total manufacturing costs for the jobs
completed during the period. This includes direct materials, direct labor, and applied
overhead.
o Direct materials: £140,000

o Direct labor: £160,000

o Applied overhead: £18 * 10,000 direct labor hours = £180,000

Total manufacturing costs:

o Total manufacturing costs: £140,000 + £160,000 + £180,000 = £480,000

Since we need to account for the increase in work-in-progress inventory, we subtract the increase
from the total manufacturing costs to find the cost of goods manufactured and transferred to
finished goods:
o Adjusted cost of goods manufactured: £480,000 - £30,000 = £450,000

o Answer: 450000
 3. A journal entry debiting Work in Progress would normally NOT be accompanied by
a credit to:
A journal entry debiting Work in Progress (WIP) typically occurs when direct materials, direct
labor, or manufacturing overhead are applied to jobs. Therefore, it would be accompanied by
credits to these accounts. However, it would not typically be accompanied by a credit to Finished
Goods Inventory because that represents completed jobs being transferred out of WIP.
o Answer: Finished Goods Inventory

I hope this helps! 😊

Fisher Company uses a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor cost to apply
manufacturing overhead to jobs. The following information about Fisher Company's Work in
Progress inventory account has been provided for the month of May: May 1 balance: $26,000
Debits during May: Direct Materials: $40,000 Direct Labor: $50,000 Manufacturing Overhead:
$37,500 During the month, Fisher Company's Work in Progress inventory account was credited
for $120,500, which represented the Cost of Goods Manufactured for the month. Only one job
remained in process on May 31; this job had been charged with $9,600 of applied overhead cost.
The amount of direct materials cost in the unfinished job would be: $Trả lời
Let's break down the information provided and calculate the amount of direct materials cost in
the unfinished job:
1. Work in Progress (WIP) balance on May 1: $26,000
2. Debits during May:
o Direct Materials: $40,000

o Direct Labor: $50,000

o Manufacturing Overhead: $37,500

3. Total debits to the WIP account during May:

Total Debits=40,000+50,000+37,500=127,500\text{Total Debits} = 40,000 + 50,000 + 37,500 =
127,500
4. Total WIP before credits:
Total WIP before credits=26,000+127,500=153,500\text{Total WIP before credits} = 26,000 +
127,500 = 153,500
5. Credits to WIP during May (Cost of Goods Manufactured):
Credits=120,500\text{Credits} = 120,500
6. Ending WIP balance:
Ending WIP balance=Total WIP before credits−Credits=153,500−120,500=33,000\text{Ending
WIP balance} = \text{Total WIP before credits} - \text{Credits} = 153,500 - 120,500 = 33,000
Only one job remained in process at the end of May, and this job had been charged with $9,600
of applied overhead cost. To find the direct materials cost in the unfinished job, we need to find
out how the remaining WIP balance of $33,000 is distributed among direct materials, direct
labor, and applied overhead:
7. Predetermined overhead rate: Since applied overhead is based on direct labor cost, we
need to use the following ratio:
Predetermined Overhead Rate=Manufacturing OverheadDirect Labor=37,50050,000=0.75\
text{Predetermined Overhead Rate} = \frac{\text{Manufacturing Overhead}}{\text{Direct
Labor}} = \frac{37,500}{50,000} = 0.75
Thus, the applied overhead rate is 75% of the direct labor cost.
8. Direct labor cost in the unfinished job: Given the applied overhead cost for the
unfinished job is $9,600, we can find the direct labor cost:
Direct Labor Cost=9,6000.75=12,800\text{Direct Labor Cost} = \frac{9,600}{0.75} = 12,800
9. Total manufacturing cost of the unfinished job:
Total Cost=33,000\text{Total Cost} = 33,000
(this is the ending WIP balance)
10. Direct materials cost in the unfinished job:
Total Cost=Direct Materials+Direct Labor+Applied Overhead\text{Total Cost} = \text{Direct
Materials} + \text{Direct Labor} + \text{Applied Overhead}
33,000=Direct Materials+12,800+9,60033,000 = \text{Direct Materials} + 12,800 + 9,600
Direct Materials=33,000−12,800−9,600=10,600\text{Direct Materials} = 33,000 - 12,800 -
9,600 = 10,600
Therefore, the amount of direct materials cost in the unfinished job is $10,600.
In the Vasquez Company, any over- or under-absorbed overhead is closed out to Cost of Goods
Sold. Last year, the company incurred $27,000 in actual manufacturing overhead cost, and
applied $29,000 of overhead cost to jobs. The beginning and ending balances of Finished Goods
were equal, and the Company's Cost of Goods Manufactured for the year totaled $71,000. Given
this information, Cost of Goods Sold, after adjustment for any over- or under-absorbed overhead,
for the year must have been in dollars:
To determine the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) after adjustment for over- or under-absorbed
overhead, we need to follow these steps:
1. Identify the over- or under-absorbed overhead:
Overapplied Overhead=Applied Overhead−Actual Overhead\text{Overapplied Overhead} = \
text{Applied Overhead} - \text{Actual Overhead}
Overapplied Overhead=29,000−27,000=2,000\text{Overapplied Overhead} = 29,000 - 27,000 =
2,000
Since the overhead is overapplied, the excess amount must be subtracted from the unadjusted
COGS.
2. Calculate the Cost of Goods Manufactured (COGM):
COGM=71,000\text{COGM} = 71,000
3. Adjust for the overapplied overhead: Since beginning and ending Finished Goods
Inventory balances are equal, the unadjusted COGS is the same as the COGM.
Unadjusted COGS=COGM=71,000\text{Unadjusted COGS} = \text{COGM} = 71,000
4. Adjust the COGS for the overapplied overhead:
Adjusted COGS=Unadjusted COGS−Overapplied Overhead\text{Adjusted COGS} = \
text{Unadjusted COGS} - \text{Overapplied Overhead}
Adjusted COGS=71,000−2,000=69,000\text{Adjusted COGS} = 71,000 - 2,000 = 69,000
Therefore, the Cost of Goods Sold after adjustment for any over- or under-absorbed overhead for
the year must have been $69,000.
The following information relates to Mazar Manufacturing Company: - Total estimated
manufacturing overhead at beginning of year: $620,000 - Total manufacturing overhead applied
to production during the year: $625,000 - Total manufacturing overhead incurred during the year:
$618,000 The company closes out the balance in the Manufacturing Overhead to Cost of Goods
Sold at the end of the year. In the journal entry to close out the balance, the company would Trả
lời cost of goods sold for $Trả lời .
To close out the balance in the Manufacturing Overhead account to Cost of Goods Sold (COGS),
we need to determine whether the overhead was overapplied or underapplied during the year.
Given:
 Total estimated manufacturing overhead at the beginning of the year: $620,000
 Total manufacturing overhead applied to production during the year: $625,000
  Total manufacturing overhead incurred during the year: $618,000
First, let's determine if the overhead was overapplied or underapplied:
Overapplied Overhead=Applied Overhead−Actual Overhead Incurred\text{Overapplied
Overhead} = \text{Applied Overhead} - \text{Actual Overhead Incurred}
Overapplied Overhead=625,000−618,000=7,000\text{Overapplied Overhead} = 625,000 -
618,000 = 7,000
Since the applied overhead is greater than the actual overhead incurred, the overhead was
overapplied by $7,000.
To close out the overapplied overhead to COGS, the company would make the following journal
entry:
Debit: Manufacturing Overhead7,000\text{Debit: Manufacturing Overhead} \quad 7,000
Credit: Cost of Goods Sold7,000\text{Credit: Cost of Goods Sold} \quad 7,000
So, in the journal entry to close out the balance, the company would credit Cost of Goods Sold
for $7,000.
In order to meet the general production requirements in a factory, direct workers may work
overtime which is paid at a premium over the normal hourly rate. Which account(s) would be
debited to transfer the overtime wages of direct workers from the wages control account? a.
Work-in-progress only b. Production overheads only c. Work-in-progress and production
overhead d. Work-in-progress and bank e. Work-in-progress and salaries payable
The correct answer is:
c. Work-in-progress and production overhead
Explanation: When direct workers work overtime to meet general production requirements, the
regular portion of their wages is typically charged directly to Work-in-Progress (WIP) as it is a
direct cost. However, the premium portion of the overtime wages, which is considered an
indirect cost, is charged to Production Overheads. Therefore, both Work-in-Progress and
Production Overhead accounts would be debited to transfer the overtime wages from the wages
control account.
Seuell Inc. has provided the following data for the month of December. There were no beginning
inventories; consequently, the direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead applied
listed below are all for the current month. Work In Process Finished Goods Cost of Goods Sold
Total Direct materials $4,080 $18,630 $66,240 $88,950 Direct labor 5,380 24,300 86,400
116,080 Manufacturing overhead applied 3,780 13,230 45,990 63,000 Total 13,240 56,160
198,630 268,030 Manufacturing overhead for the month was overapplied by $12,000. The
Corporation allocates any underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead among work in
process, finished goods, and cost of goods sold at the end of the month on the basis of the
manufacturing overhead applied during the month in those accounts. The journal entry to record
the allocation of any underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead for December would
include the following: Select one: A. debit to Finished Goods of $56,160 B. credit to Finished
Goods of $2,520 C. All are incorrect D. credit to Finished Goods of $56,160 E. debit to Finished
Goods of $2,520
To determine the correct allocation of the overapplied overhead, we need to allocate the $12,000
among Work in Process (WIP), Finished Goods, and Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) based on the
proportion of manufacturing overhead applied.
First, calculate the proportion of overhead applied to each account:
1. Total manufacturing overhead applied: $63,000
2. Proportion for WIP:
3,78063,000\frac{3,780}{63,000}
3. Proportion for Finished Goods:
13,23063,000\frac{13,230}{63,000}
4. Proportion for COGS:
45,99063,000\frac{45,990}{63,000}
Now, allocate the overapplied overhead of $12,000 based on these proportions:
1. WIP:
3,78063,000×12,000=720\frac{3,780}{63,000} \times 12,000 = 720
2. Finished Goods:
13,23063,000×12,000=2,520\frac{13,230}{63,000} \times 12,000 = 2,520
3. COGS:
45,99063,000×12,000=8,760\frac{45,990}{63,000} \times 12,000 = 8,760
The journal entry to record the allocation of overapplied overhead would be:
 Debit Manufacturing Overhead: $12,000
 Credit Work in Process: $720
 Credit Finished Goods: $2,520
 Credit Cost of Goods Sold: $8,760
Therefore, the correct answer is:
B. credit to Finished Goods of $2,520
On April 9, Job XX4 was completed. The job cost sheet showed a total of £4000 in direct
materials and £6000 in direct labour at a rate of £20 per direct labour hour. Factory overhead is
applied at £30 per direct labour hour. The debit to Finished Goods Inventory to record the
completion of Job XX4 is in £.
To determine the total cost of Job XX4 and the debit to Finished Goods Inventory, we need to
add up the direct materials, direct labor, and applied factory overhead.
1. Direct materials: £4,000
2. Direct labor: £6,000
Since the direct labor cost is £6,000 at a rate of £20 per direct labor hour, we can determine the
number of direct labor hours:
Direct labor hours=Direct labor costDirect labor rate=6,00020=300 hours\text{Direct labor
hours} = \frac{\text{Direct labor cost}}{\text{Direct labor rate}} = \frac{6,000}{20} = 300 \
text{ hours}
3. Factory overhead: £30 per direct labor hour
Factory overhead applied:
Factory overhead=Direct labor hours×Factory overhead rate=300×30=9,000\text{Factory
overhead} = \text{Direct labor hours} \times \text{Factory overhead rate} = 300 \times 30 =
9,000
Now, calculate the total cost of Job XX4:
Total cost=Direct materials+Direct labor+Factory overhead\text{Total cost} = \text{Direct
materials} + \text{Direct labor} + \text{Factory overhead}
Total cost=4,000+6,000+9,000=19,000\text{Total cost} = 4,000 + 6,000 + 9,000 = 19,000
The debit to Finished Goods Inventory to record the completion of Job XX4 is:
\£19,000\£19,000
Therefore, the debit to Finished Goods Inventory to record the completion of Job XX4 is
£19,000.
4Es Company is a manufacturing firm that uses job-order costing. The company's inventory
balances were as follows at the beginning and end of the year: Beginning balance Ending
balance Raw materials $21,000 $24,000 Work-in-process $40,000 $22,000 Finished goods
$26,000 $41,000 The company applies overhead to jobs using a predetermined overhead rate
based on machine-hours. At the beginning of the year, the company estimated that it would work
38,000 machine-hours and incur $266,000 in manufacturing overhead cost. The following
transactions were recorded for the year: Raw materials were purchased, $300,000. Raw materials
were requisitioned for use in production, $297,000 $(281,000 direct and $16,000 indirect). The
following employee costs were incurred: direct labor, $389,000; indirect labor, $62,000; and
administrative salaries, $176,000. Selling costs, $160,000. Factory utility costs, $19,000.
Depreciation for the year was $143,000 of which $137,000 is related to factory operations and
$6,000 is related to selling, general, and administrative activities. Manufacturing overhead was
applied to jobs. The actual level of activity for the year was 34,000 machine-hours. Sales for the
year totaled $1,283,000. Was the overhead underapplied or overapplied? By how much? Answer:
Trả lời overhead $Trả lời
To determine if the overhead was underapplied or overapplied, we need to follow these steps:
1. Calculate the predetermined overhead rate.
2. Calculate the applied overhead.
3. Compare the applied overhead to the actual overhead incurred.
4. Predetermined Overhead Rate:
Predetermined Overhead Rate=Estimated Total Manufacturing OverheadEstimated Total Machin
e-Hours\text{Predetermined Overhead Rate} = \frac{\text{Estimated Total Manufacturing
Overhead}}{\text{Estimated Total Machine-Hours}}
Predetermined Overhead Rate=266,00038,000=7 per machine-hour\text{Predetermined
Overhead Rate} = \frac{266,000}{38,000} = 7 \text{ per machine-hour}
2. Applied Overhead:
Applied Overhead=Predetermined Overhead Rate×Actual Machine-Hours\text{Applied
Overhead} = \text{Predetermined Overhead Rate} \times \text{Actual Machine-Hours}
Applied Overhead=7×34,000=238,000\text{Applied Overhead} = 7 \times 34,000 = 238,000
3. Actual Manufacturing Overhead Incurred:
Actual Manufacturing Overhead=618,000\text{Actual Manufacturing Overhead} = 618,000
4. Compare Applied Overhead to Actual Overhead:
Overhead Variance=Applied Overhead−Actual Overhead\text{Overhead Variance} = \
text{Applied Overhead} - \text{Actual Overhead}
Overhead Variance=238,000−618,000=−380,000\text{Overhead Variance} = 238,000 - 618,000
= -380,000
Since the actual overhead ($618,000) is greater than the applied overhead ($238,000), the
overhead was underapplied.
Therefore, the overhead was underapplied by $380,000.
Answer: underapplied by 380000.
4Es Corporation uses a job-order costing system and applies overhead to jobs using a
predetermined overhead rate. During the year the company's Finished Goods inventory account
was debited for $384,000 and credited for $325,900. The ending balance in the Finished Goods
inventory account was $72,100. At the end of the year, manufacturing overhead was
underapplied by $5,400. The balance in the Finished Goods inventory account at the beginning
of the year was: $Trả lời (without comma add) If the applied manufacturing overhead was
$174,000, the actual manufacturing overhead cost for the year was:
Let's solve each part of the question step by step.
1. Balance in the Finished Goods Inventory Account at the Beginning of the Year:
We know the following:
 The Finished Goods Inventory account was debited for $384,000 (representing the cost of
goods manufactured and transferred to Finished Goods).
 The Finished Goods Inventory account was credited for $325,900 (representing the cost
of goods sold).
 The ending balance in the Finished Goods Inventory account was $72,100.
We can set up the equation for the Finished Goods Inventory account:
Beginning Balance+Debits−Credits=Ending Balance\text{Beginning Balance} + \text{Debits}
- \text{Credits} = \text{Ending Balance}
Let's solve for the beginning balance:
Beginning Balance+384,000−325,900=72,100\text{Beginning Balance} + 384,000 - 325,900 =
72,100
Beginning Balance=72,100−384,000+325,900\text{Beginning Balance} = 72,100 - 384,000 +
325,900
Beginning Balance=13,100\text{Beginning Balance} = 13,100
So, the balance in the Finished Goods Inventory account at the beginning of the year was
$13100.
2. Actual Manufacturing Overhead Cost for the Year:
We know the following:
 Applied Manufacturing Overhead: $174,000
 Underapplied Manufacturing Overhead: $5,400
To find the actual manufacturing overhead cost, we add the underapplied overhead to the applied
overhead:
Actual Manufacturing Overhead=Applied Manufacturing Overhead+Underapplied Overhead\
text{Actual Manufacturing Overhead} = \text{Applied Manufacturing Overhead} + \
text{Underapplied Overhead}
Actual Manufacturing Overhead=174,000+5,400=179,400\text{Actual Manufacturing
Overhead} = 174,000 + 5,400 = 179,400
So, the actual manufacturing overhead cost for the year was $179400.
Sagon Corporation has provided data concerning the Corporation's Manufacturing Overhead
account for the month of September. Prior to the closing of the overapplied or underapplied
balance to Cost of Goods Sold, the total of the debits to the Manufacturing Overhead account
was $76,000 and the total of the credits to the account was $66,000. Which of the following
statements is true? Select one: A. Manufacturing overhead for the month was underapplied by
$10,000. B. Actual manufacturing overhead incurred during the month was $66,000. C.
Manufacturing overhead applied to Work in Process for the month was $76,000. D.
Manufacturing overhead transferred from Finished Goods to Cost of Goods Sold during the
month was $76,000.
Let's analyze the given information:
 Total debits to the Manufacturing Overhead account: $76,000
 Total credits to the Manufacturing Overhead account: $66,000
In the Manufacturing Overhead account:
 Debits represent actual manufacturing overhead incurred.
 Credits represent manufacturing overhead applied to Work in Process.
Given this, we have:
 Actual manufacturing overhead incurred: $76,000
 Manufacturing overhead applied to Work in Process: $66,000
If the actual overhead incurred ($76,000) is greater than the applied overhead ($66,000), then the
overhead is underapplied by the difference:
Underapplied Overhead=Actual Overhead−Applied Overhead\text{Underapplied Overhead} = \
text{Actual Overhead} - \text{Applied Overhead}
Underapplied Overhead=76,000−66,000=10,000\text{Underapplied Overhead} = 76,000 -
66,000 = 10,000
Based on this information, the correct statement is:
A. Manufacturing overhead for the month was underapplied by $10,000.
