Required:
1. Calculate the number of direct labor
hours that were worked on each job in
August.
2. Calculate the overhead applied to each
job during the month of August.
3. Prepare job-order cost sheets for each
job as of the end of August.
4. Calculate the balance in Work in
Process on August 31.
5. What is the price of Job 93?
6. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Partway
though the year, Jagjit bought a bulldozer
to handle larger jobs. The bulldozer cost
$38,000 and is needed for larger
commercial jobs. Smaller residential jobs
can still be done with the smaller bobcat
tractor. How could the bulldozer's cost be
applied to only those jobs that need the
larger equipment?
