The Editions Sorbonne is wholly owned by the university. It performs the bulk of its work for other university departments, which pay as though the Editions Sorbonne were an outside business enterprise. The Editions Sorbonne also publishes and maintains a stock of books for general sale.

A job-costing system is used to cost each job. There are two direct-cost categories (direct materials and direct manufacturing labour) and one indirect-cost pool (manufacturing overhead, allocated on the basis of direct-labour costs).

Required 1 Present an overview diagram of the job-costing system at the Editions Sorbonne.
2 Prepare general journal entries to summarise 2023 transactions. As your final entry, dispose of the year-end over- or underallocated manufacturing overhead as a direct write off to Cost of Goods Sold. Number your entries. Explanations for each entry may be omitted.
3 Show posted T-accounts for all stocks, Cost of Goods Sold, Manufacturing Overhead Control and Manufacturing Overhead Allocated.
For more details concerning these data, see Exercise 3.19.

(a) indicate the source document that would most probably authorise the entry and

(b) give a description of the entry into the subsidiary ledgers, if any entry needs to be made there.
