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.
(c) Payroll reports that the sales manager's salary for the period is $3,500 and that
production
Supervisor's wages for the period are $5,500.
(d) The stockroom reports that $2,575 in materials were purchased for the production
Maintenance Department.
(e) 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.
