6. Asoka Corporation is currently producing Job 613. It applies factory overhead at 60% of direct
labor. Below are the costs related to Job 613. How much is the cost of Job 613.
Under job order costing, the cost of each job is the total of direct material cost, direct labor cost
and applied overhead cost.
7. Job 1204 was started by the compay last month and has a beginning work in process
balance of P3,600. During the month, additional cost of Job 1204 are as follows. How much is
the cost of the job?
If Job 613 has a beginning inventory, the cost of the job in the work in process inventory, it
should be included in the computation of the total cost of the job.
8. How much is the cost of Job 1118 if it applies factory overhead based on direct labor?
Since no overhead rate is given, compute first for the overhead rate using the budgeted
amounts.
Overhead rate = Budgeted overhead
Budgeted labor
= P40,000
P80,000
= 50%
10. The company has the following information related to its work in process inventory.
= P48,000
P32,000
= 150%
11. Using the same information in number 10, how much is the cost of the completed products
transferred to finished goods?
Beginning inventory P25,000
Direct materials 70,000
Direct labor 32,000
Applied factory overhead 48,000
Total Goods Put into Process 175,000
Less: Ending inventory 55,000
Cost of Goods Manufactured P120,000
And transferred to finished goods.
12. Using the same information in number 10, the ending inventory is composed of a single job
still in process with a direct labor cost of P10,000. How much is the direct materials charged to
the job?
The cost of the job still in process is P55,000 which is composed of direct materials, direct labor,
and applied factory overhead. Out of the three, only direct labor cost was given. We can use this
to compute for the applied factory overhead and work back to compute the direct materials cost
charged to the job:
13. The company has the following information related to its work in process inventory.
The company applies overhead at 75% of direct labor. Several jobs were completed during the
month with the following cost:
Direct Materials 74,000
Direct labor 60,000
To compute the cost of the transferred goods when no WIP ending inventory is given, you can
directly compute by adding direct materials, direct labor, and applied factory overhead. This
amount will then be credited under the WIP T-Account.
15. Given the following, how much is the over or underapplied overhead?
Budgeted labor P500,000
Budgeted overhead P600,000
Actual labor P700,000
Actual overhead P800,000
