Answer to Problem 40E
The cost of job SY-404 at the end of the month is $81,792.
Explanation of Solution
Job costing: Job costing is a method of tracking and allocating costs to different jobs in the manufacturing process. This method of costing is used in entities where different jobs are incurred in each period.
Compute the cost of job SY- 404 at the end of the month:
Thus, the value of the cost of job SY-404 at the end of the month is $81,792.

Compute the direct labor of job SY-404:
c.
Find the under or over-applied service overhead for the month.
Answer to Problem 40E
The value of under-applied overhead is $1,008.
Explanation of Solution
Over-applied overheads: This is the amount of overhead which arises when the amount of actual overheads is less than the amount of overheads applied.
Compute the under or over-applied service overhead for the month:
Thus, the value of under-applied overhead is $1,008.
Working note 6:
Applied overheads are 60% of actual direct labor.
Hence,
Compute the overhead applied during the month:
