What will be an ideal response?


A. Predetermined overhead rate: $600,000 ÷ $480,000 = 125% of direct labor cost
B. Actual manufacturing overhead ($639,000) - applied overhead ($500,000 × 125% = $625,000) = $14,000 underapplied
C. Total debits to Work-in-Process ($1,880,000) - direct labor ($500,000) - applied overhead ($625,000) = direct materials used ($755,000) 
D. The only job in production is job no. 18, which has direct material of $16,500 and direct labor of $36,000. Applied overhead amounts to $45,000 ($36,000 × 125%), yielding a total job cost of $97,500 ($16,500 + $36,000 + $45,000).
E. The company's cost of goods sold equals $920,000, resulting in sales revenues of $1,472,000 ($920,000 s 160%). Thus:

?Accounts Receivable1,472,000?
