Explanation of Solution

Computation of total each production cost in April.

Details Job 306 ($) Job 307 ($) Job 308 ($) Production cost in April ($)
Production Cost in March
Direct Materials 29,000 35,000
Direct Labor 20,000 18,000
Applied Overheads 10,000 9,000
Production Cost (A) 59,000 62,000 121,000
Production Cost in April
Direct materials 135,000 220,000 100,000 455,000
Direct Labor 85,000 150,000 105,000 340,000
Applied Overheads 42,500 75,000 52,500 170,000
Total cost of production in April (B) 262,500 445,000 257,500 965,000
Total Production Cost ( A+B ) 321,500 507,000 257,500 1,086,000

Table(1)

Hence, the total production cost in April is $1,086,000.

Working notes:

April

Given,
Applied overhead is 50% of the direct labor.

Computation of applied overheads for job 306,

    Appliedoverhead=50%×Directlaborofjob306 =50%×$85,000 =$42,500

Applied overhead for job 306 is $42,500.

Computation of applied overheads for job 307,

    Appliedoverhead=50%×Directlaborofjob307 =50%×$150,000 =$75,000

Applied overhead for job 307 is $75,000.

Computation of applied overheads for job 308,

    Appliedoverhead=50%×Directlaborofjob308 =50%×$105,000 =$52,500

Applied overhead for job 308 is $52,500.

Computation of total production cost in April,

    TotalProductionCost=( ProductioncostattheendofMarch +ProductioncostinApril ) =$121,000+$967,000 =$1,088,000

The total production cost is $1,088,000.

Explanation of Solution

Explanation;

Given,
Sales are $635,000.
Cost of goods sold is $326,000.

Formula to calculate gross profit,

    GrossProfit=SalesCostofgoodssold

Substitute $635,000 for sales and $326,000 for cost of goods sold.

    GrossProfit=$635,000$326,000 =$309,000

Hence the gross profit is $309,000.

Compute total inventories.

Given,
Raw materials are $80,000.

Formula to calculate the total inventories,

    TotalInventories=( Rawmaterials+Finishedgoodsofjob307 +Workinprogressofthejob308 )

Substitute $80,000 for raw materials, $257,000 for the finished goods of job 307 and $507,000 for work in progress of the job 308.

    TotalInventory=$80,000+$257,000+$507,000 =$844,000

Hence, the total Inventory is $844,000.

Explanation of Solution

  • Under applied overheads happens when actual overhead is greater than the applied overhead.
  • Since, the batches of job or an individual job hold under the cost, therefore it is certain that the overheads are under applied by $5,000.

Hence, under applied overheads are those overheads that do not reach to the actual overheads.
