Man I am soooo tired of ppl calling me!!! I am soliciting the help of my good friends here!!! LUV YA!!! My friend contacted me with this question…

Question 1

Garcia Manufacturing uses a job order cost system and applies overhead to production on the basis of direct labor costs. On January 1, 2010, Job No. 50 was the only job in process. The costs incurred prior to January 1 on this job were as follows: direct materials $19,831, direct labor $11,700, and manufacturing overhead $15,138. As of January 1, Job No. 49 had been completed at a cost of $89,434 and was part of finished goods inventory. There was a $14,205 balance in the Raw Materials Inventory account.

During the month of January, Garcia Manufacturing began production on Jobs 51 and 52, and completed Jobs 50 and 51. Jobs 49 and 50 were also sold on account during the month for $122,631 and $157,084, respectively. The following additional events occurred during the month.

Purchased additional raw materials of $90,106 on account.

Incurred factory labor costs of $64,976. Of this amount $15,966 related to employer payroll taxes.

Incurred manufacturing overhead costs as follows: indirect materials $16,146; indirect labor $14,080; depreciation expense $18,186, and various other manufacturing overhead costs on account $19,639.

Assigned direct materials and direct labor to jobs as follows.

Job No. Direct Materials Direct Labor

50 $10,061 $ 4,161

51 39,920 25,170

52 30,701 24,520

what i need to know is what the crap do I credit for my moh costs. Indirect labor and indirect materials are not in the drop down menu and my brain is fried from studying for the cpa last year…any guesses would help… the available choices are

wip, taxes payable, depr expense, factory wages payable (which i used to record factory labor costs), moh, A/D, wages expense, f/g inventory, sales, cash, A/P, raw material inv(which i used to record the purch of raw materials), and factory labor.

I am thinking

dr MOH

cr a/p, depr exp, raw materials, and factory labor

but i could be wrong please help me thank you!!!

IL - BECKER=============> DONE
REG - 80; FAR - 65,79; AUD - 53,78; BEC - 71,68, 75 (used becker and yaeger for 3rd BEC)Ethics 95

Hi,

I am mostly agreeing with you.

As I understand the entry for applied overhead is Work-in -progress is debited and MOH is credited.You will have all the actual indirect cost debited to this MOH account, the balance of this account now shows whether overheads are under applied (if you get a debit balance ) or over applied (if you get a credit balance). Accordingly I would pass the entry for MOH costs as follows:

MOH dr 16146+14080+18186+19639

Cash cr 16146+14080

Accumulated depr cr 18186

A/P cr 19639

Please let me know whether this was right.
