Question:

18) Under the proration approach, the sum of the amounts shown in the subsidiary ledgers will not match the amounts shown in the general ledger because no adjustments from budgeted to actual manufacturing overhead rates are made in the individual job-cost records.

19) The actual costs of all individual overhead categories are recorded in the Manufacturing Overhead Control account.

20) Proration is the spreading of underallocated or overallocated overhead among ending work in process, finished goods, and costs of goods sold.

21) It is appropriate for service organizations such as public accounting firms to use job costing.

22) Plastic Products Company manufactures pipes and applies manufacturing costs to production at a budgeted indirect-cost rate of $12 per direct labor-hour. The following data are obtained from the accounting records for June 2014:

Direct materials $350,000

Direct labor (16,000 hours @ $11/hour) 176,000

Indirect labor 20,000

Plant facility rent 100,000

Depreciation on plant machinery and equipment 40,000

Sales commissions 50,000

Administrative expenses 60,000

Required:

a.What actual amount of manufacturing overhead costs was incurred during June 2014?

b.What amount of manufacturing overhead was allocated to all jobs during June 2014?

c.For June 2014, was manufacturing overhead underallocated or overallocated? Explain.

23) Moira Company has just finished its first year of operations and must decide which method to use for adjusting cost of goods sold. Because the company used a budgeted indirect-cost rate for its manufacturing operations, the amount that was allocated ($435,000) to cost of goods sold was different from the actual amount incurred ($425,000).

Ending balances in the relevant accounts were:

Work-in-Process $ 40,000

Finished Goods 80,000

Cost of Goods Sold 680,000

Required:

a.Prepare a journal entry to write off the difference between allocated and actual overhead directly to Cost of Goods Sold. Be sure your journal entry closes the related overhead accounts.

b.Prepare a journal entry that prorates the write-off of the difference between allocated and actual overhead using ending account balances. Be sure your journal entry closes the related overhead accounts.
