1. Brody Company makes industrial cleaning solvents. Various chemicals, detergent, and water are
mixed together and then bottled in 10-gallon drums. Brody provided the following information for last
year:
Direct materials:
Income statement
2. Assume that the following transactions were received from the record of Almda Textile Factory for
the month of June, 2014.
3. H2M manufacturing company uses job order costing system. The company uses machine hours to
apply overhead cost to jobs. At the beginning of 2012, the company estimated that 150,000 machine
hours would be worked and $900,000 overhead cost would be incurred during 2012. The balances of
raw materials, work in process (WIP), and finished goods at the beginning of 2012 were as follows:
1. Prepare journal entries, T-accounts and income statement from the above information.
2. Prepare a journal entry to close the balance in manufacturing overhead account (over or under
applied manufacturing overhead) to cost of goods sold
4. 2C Company uses job-order costing. It applies overhead cost to jobs on the basis of direct laborhours.
The following transactions took place during the year:

Actual applied
40,000
130,000 715,000
60,000
210,000
275,000 overapplied
5. QRS Company has two support departments (Administration and Janitorial) and three producing
departments (Fabricating, Assembly, and Finishing). Costs and activities are as follows:
1. Direct Method
2. Sequential Method
As indicated in the service proportion table, the Administration Department provides the highest
percentage of service to other service departments. Thus, the administrative costs will be allocated first,
then followed by the Janitorial Department cost allocation.
3. Reciprocal Method
Process costing
6. Suppose that Peace Corporation, chemical manufacturing Company, has two production departments
using sequential production flow: the Mixing Department and the Bottling Department. In the Mixing
Department direct material consisting ingredient chemicals is added at the beginning of the production
process. Direct labor and manufacturing overhead costs are incurred evenly throughout the production
process. Predetermined overhead rate is used in the mixing department using direct labor cost as a cost
allocation base and at 125% overheads per $1 direct labor cost. The following table presents the
summary activity performed in Mixing Department during March. The direct material and conversion
costs listed under beginning work in process section represent the work done during February.
7. Anzio Co. manufactures a wooden recycling container in its Forming Department. Direct materials for
this product are introduced at the beginning of the production cycle. At the start of production, all direct
materials required to make one output unit are bundled in a single kit. Conversion costs are added
evenly during the cycle. Some units of this product are spoiled as a result defects only detectable at
inspection of finished units. Normally spoiled units are 10% of the goods output.
Spoiled Units= (Beginning units + Units started)-(Goods units transferred out+ending units)
= 1,000 units
Normal Spoilage is 10% of the 7,000 units of good output, or 700 units. Thus,
= 1,000-700
= 300units
Step 5: Assign Total Costs to units completed, to spoiled units, and to units in ending work-in process.
A. Weighted Average
Equivalent Units
B. FIFO method

Journal entries
8. Assume that the Dream Corporation has two processing departments using sequential production
flow: the Cleaning Department and the Milling Department. In the Cleaning Department direct material
is introduced in the production process at the beginning of the production process. Conversion costs are
incurred evenly throughout the production process. According to past experience of the company
normal spoilage accounts 10% of good units completed and transferred out. The following table
presents the summary activity performed in Cleaning Department during May.
ii. Show the treatment of both using weighted average and First-in, First-out methods of process costing
and pass the necessary journal entries
