Recall that inventory beginning balances were $25,000 for raw materials inventory, $35,000 for work-in-process inventory, and $90,000 for finished goods inventory.

Management of Custom Furniture Company would like to use activity-based costing to allocate overhead costs totaling $1,140,000 rather than one plantwide rate based on direct labor hours. The following estimates are for the activities and related cost drivers identified as having the greatest impact on overhead costs.

Activity	Cost Driver	Estimated Annual Overhead Costs	Estimated Annual Cost Driver Activity
Purchase orders	Number of purchase orders	$260,000	800 orders
Machine setups	Number of setups	360,000	1,000 setups
Machine maintenance	Machine hours	140,000	20,000 machine hours
Misc. production activities	Direct labor hours	380,000	38,000 direct labor hours
Total		$1,140,000

Enter beginning balances in T-accounts for the inventory accounts (raw materials, work in process, and finished goods).

Prepare a journal entry for each of the transactions 1 through 11, and post each entry to the T-accounts set up in requirement b. Label each entry in the T-accounts by transaction number, and total each T-account.

Is overhead underapplied or overapplied for the month of May? Based on the balance in the manufacturing overhead T-account prepared in requirement c, prepare a journal entry for transaction 12.
