Gilbert Company manufactures custom-built conveyor systems for factory and commercial operations. Erin Smith is the cost accountant for Gilbert and she is in the process of educating a new employee, Heather Fontenot about the job-order costing system that Gilbert uses. (The system is based on normal costs; overhead is applied based on direct labor cost and rounded to the next whole dollar.) Lisa gathers the following job-order cost records for July:
Direct Direct Total
Job No. Materials Labor Applied OH Cost
667 $ 5,901 $1,730 $ 1,990 $ 9,621
669 18,312 1,810 2,082 22,204
670 406 500 575 1,481
671 51,405 9,500 10,925 71,830
672 9,615 550 633 10,798
To explain the missing job number, Erin informed Heather that Job #668 had been completed in June. She also told her that Job #667 was the only job in process at the beginning of July. At that time, the job had been assigned $4,300 for direct material and $900 for direct labor. At the end of July, Job #671 had not been completed; all others had. Erin asked Heather several questions to determine whether she understood the job-order system.
Required: Help Heather answer the following questions:
a. What is the predetermined overhead rate used by ABC Company?
b. What was the total cost of beginning Work in Process inventory?
c. What was total prime cost incurred for the month of July?
d. What was cost of goods manufactured for July?
