Explanation of Solution

Computation of total each production cost in April.

    Details Job 114 ($) Job 115 ($) Job 116 ($) Production cost in April ($)
    Production Cost in August
    Direct Materials 14,000 18,000
    Direct Labor 18,000 16,000
    Applied Overheads 9,000 8,000
    Production Cost (A) 41,000 42,000 83,000
    Production Cost in September
    Direct materials 100,000 170,000 80,000 350,000
    Direct Labor 30,000 68,000 120,000 218,000
    Applied Overheads 15,000 34,000 60,000 109,000
    Total cost of production in April (B) 145,000 272,000 260,000 677,000
    Total Production Cost ( A+B ) 186,000 314,000 260,000 760,000
    Table (1)

Hence, the total production cost in April is $760,000.

Working notes:

September

Given,
Applied overhead is 50% of the direct labor

Computation of applied overheads for job 114,

    Appliedoverhead=50%×Directlaborofjob114 =50%×$30,000 =$15,000

Applied overhead for job114 is $15,000.

Computation of applied overheads for job 115,

    Appliedoverhead=50%×Directlaborofjob115 =50%×$68,000 =$34,000

Applied overhead for job 115 is $34,000.

Computation of applied overheads for job 116,

    Appliedoverhead=50%×Directlaborofjob116 =50%×$120,000 =$60,000

Applied overhead for job 116 is $60,000.

Computation of total production cost,

    TotalProductionCost=( ProductioncostattheendofAugust +ProductioncostinSeptember ) =$83,000+$677,000 =$760,000

The total production cost is $760,000.

Working Notes:

Given,
Over head on indirect materials is $30,000.
Factory rent is $20,000.
Factory utilities are $12,000.
Factory equipment depreciation is $30,000.

Explanation of Solution

Explanation;

Given,
Sales are $380,000.
Cost of goods sold is $183,000.

Formula to calculate gross profit,

    GrossProfit=SalesCostofgoodssold

Substitute $380,000 for sales and $183,000 for Cost of goods sold.

    GrossProfit=$380,000$183,000 =$197,000

Hence the gross profit is $197,000.

Compute total inventories.

Given,
Raw materials are $170,000.

Formula to calculate the total inventories,

    TotalInventories=( Rawmaterials+Finishedgoodsofjob115 +Workinprogressofthejob116 )

Substitute $70,000 for raw materials, $314,000 for the finished goods of job 115 and $260,000 for work in progress of the job 116.

    TotalInventory=$170,000+$314,000+$260,000 =$744,000

Hence, the total inventory is $744,000.

Explanation of Solution

  • Under applied overheads happens when actual overhead is less than the applied overhead.
  • It decreases the profitability by some extent as $3,000 worth of overhead is applied more.

Hence, over applied overheads are those that are more than the actual overheads.
