    Computations using a job order system
    General Corporation employs a job order cost system. On May 1 the following balances were extracted from the general ledger;

    Work in process $ 35,200
    Finished goods 86,900
    Cost of goods sold 128,700

    Work in Process consisted of two jobs, no. 101 ($20,400) and no. 103 ($14,800). During May, direct materials requisitioned from the storeroom amounted to $96,500, and direct labor incurred totaled $114,500. These figures are subdivided as follows:

    Direct Materials Direct Labor
    Job No. Amount Job No. Amount
    101 $5,000 101 $7,800
    115 19,500 103 20,800
    116 36,200 115 42,000
    Other 35,800 116 18,000
    $96,500 Other 25,900
    $114,500









    Job no. 115 was the only job in process at the end of the month. Job no. 101 and three "other" jobs were sold during May at a profit of 20% of cost. The "other" jobs contained material and labor charges of $21,000 and $17,400, respectively.

    General applies overhead daily at the rate of 150% of direct labor cost as labor summaries are posted to job orders. The firm's fiscal year ends on May 31.

    Instructions:
    a. Compute the total overhead applied to production during May.
    b. Compute the cost of the ending work in process inventory.
    c. Compute the cost of jobs completed during May.
    d. Compute the cost of goods sold for the year ended May 31.
