At the beginning of year 3, O’Leary has two jobs, which have not yet been delivered to customers. Job MC-270 was completed on December 27, year 2. It is scheduled to ship on January 7, year 3. Job MC-275 is still in progress. For the purpose of computing the predetermined overhead rate, O’Leary uses the previous year’s actual overhead rate.  Data on direct material costs and direct labor-hours for these jobs in year 2 follow.

Required:

  1. What was the amount in the beginning Finished Goods and beginning Work-in-Process accounts for year 3?
  2. O’Leary incurred direct materials costs of $59,600 and used an additional 560 hours in year 3 to complete job MC-275. What was the final (total) cost charged to job MC-275?
  3. What was over- or underapplied overhead for year 3?
  4. O’Leary prorates any over- or underapplied overhead to Cost of Goods Sold, Finished Goods Inventory, and Work-in-Process Inventory. Prepare the journal entry to prorate the over- or underapplied overhead.
  5. A customer has asked O’Leary to bid on a job to be completed in year 4. O’Leary estimates that the job will require about $93,800 in direct materials and 5,130 direct labor-hours. Because of the economy, O’Leary expects demand for its services to be low in year 4, and the CEO wants to bid aggressively, but does not want to lose any money on the project. O’Leary estimates that there would be virtually no sales or administrative costs associated with this job. What is the minimum amount O’Leary can bid on the job and still not incur a loss?
