Job order costing
Reed Incorporated uses a job-order costing system and a predetermined overhead rate based on machine
hours.
At the beginning of the year, the company estimated manufacturing overhead for the year would be $240,000
and machine hours would be 8,000.
The following information pertains to December of the current year:
Actual manufacturing overhead cost incurred in December was $61,000.
Jobs 10 and 12 were completed during December. Job 10 was sold to customer (see c below).
Required: Transfer the information in the table above to an Excel spreadsheet and prepare the solutions to the
following questions. Your solution should show the appropriate formulas and the detailed calculations. In using
Excel, you should use appropriate formulas and functions to show your understanding of basic Excel functions.
Clearly identify your answer to each question.
a. Compute the predetermined overhead application rate.
b. Determine the total cost associated with each job.
c. Jobs 10 and 12 were completed during the month. If job 10 was delivered to customers that paid $50,000
cash, what is the gross profit for job 10?
d. What is the cost assigned to ending work in process?
e. What is the cost assigned to ending finished goods?
f. How much was overhead over/under applied?
