EXERCISE 3-17 (30 MINUTES)

3. Apparently, the company uses a predetermined overhead rate of 140%

of direct labor cost. This figure can be determined by relating the May

applied overhead cost on the job cost sheets to the May direct labor

cost shown on these sheets. For example, in the case of job 208:

May overhead cost = RUR 11,200 = 140% of direct labor cost

May direct labor cost RUR 8,000

The overhead cost applied to each job during June would be:

Job 208: RUR 4,000 × 140% ... RUR 5,600

Job 209: RUR 7,500 × 140% ... 10,500

Job 210: RUR 8,500 × 140% ... 11,900

Total applied overhead ... RUR28,000

The entry to record the application of overhead cost to jobs would be

[recorded as entry (d) in the T-accounts above]:

Work in Process ... 28,000

Manufacturing Overhead... 28,000
