1.The cost of direct materials requisitioned in the month equals the total
direct materials costs accumulated on the three jobs less the amount of
direct materials cost assigned to Job 102 in May:
Job 102 ............................................................ $15,000
Less prior costs.............................................. ( 6,000 ) $ 9,000
2.Direct labor cost incurred in the month equals the total direct labor
costs accumulated on the three jobs less the amount of direct labor cost
assigned to Job 102 in May:
Job 102 .................................................................$8,000
Less prior costs................................................... (1,800 ) $ 6,200
Job 103 ................................................................. 14,200
3.The predetermined overhead rate equals the ratio of the amount of
overhead assigned to jobs divided by the amount of direct labor cost
assigned to them. Since the same rate is used for all jobs started and
completed within a month, the ratio for any one job equals the rate that
was applied. This table shows the ratio for jobs 102 and 104:
Job 102 Job 104
Overhead...............................................................$ 4,000 $10,500
4.The cost transferred to finished goods in June equals the total costs of
the two completed jobs for the month, which are Jobs 102 and 103:
