EXERCISE 3-11 (30 MINUTES)

2. The Lexington Gardens Project is the only job remaining in Work in

Process at the end of the month; therefore, the entire $35,000 balance

in the Work in Process account at that point must apply to it. Recogniz-

ing that the predetermined overhead rate is 160% of direct staff costs,

the following computation can be made:

Total cost in the Lexington Gardens Project... $35,000

Less: Direct staff costs... $ 6,500

Studio overhead cost ($6,500 × 160%)... 10,400 16,900

Costs of subcontracted work ... $18,100

With this information, we can now complete the job cost sheet for the

Lexington Gardens Project:

Costs of subcontracted work ... $18,100

Direct staff costs ... 6,500

Studio overhead... 10,400

Total cost to January 31 ... $35,000
