48” × 96” × 1” sheet steel at $15.55 each. The third PO is for five 5 gallon drums of milling lubrication oil at
$475.00 per barrel.
The receiving/inspection process is completed and the goods are transferred from Receiving Inventory to Raw
Materials. The Receiving/Inspection Department assigns manufacturing overhead of $55.00 per purchase order
as
well as $2.75 per piece on metal goods and $35.00 per container on fluids. All labor is allocated through
overhead.
(a)
Write the journal entry to purchase and receive these items to Receiving Inventory on account.
(b)
Assign overhead to the metal goods.
(c)

The Brass Works is in the process of determining manufacturing overhead. Journalize events (a) - (d) to
Factory
Overhead, Administrative Expenses, Selling expenses, or allocated between the three as appropriate.
All items
were paid in cash at the time of acquisition. Next calculate the overhead application rate and apply
overhead to
Work in Process.
(a)
Brass Works purchases an insurance policy for $4,000. It is computed that 80% of the
value of the policy protects production, the balance protects the administrative
offices.
Brass Works charges insurance initially to expense.
(b)
The electric bill is received showing an amount due of $1,200. This meter is utilized
only
by production as the office spaces have their own meter.

If the driver for the application of overhead is drop-forge strokes and there are expected
to be 1,000 strokes in this period, what is the rate per stroke? Do not round your
answer.
(f)
Assuming that there are 1,150 drop-forge strokes in this period, apply factory overhead
to
Work in Process. Round your answers to nearest dollar.
Round overhead rate to four decimal places and total cost to nearest dollar.
