In December 2016, Custom Mfg. established its predetermined overhead rate for jobs produced during 2017 by using the following cost predictions: overhead costs, $1,740,000, and direct materials costs, $600,000. At year-end 2017, the company’s records show that actual overhead costs for the year are $1,497,400. Actual direct material cost had been assigned to jobs as follows.
Jobs completed and sold $380,000
Jobs in finished goods inventory 74,000
Jobs in work in process inventory 59,000
Total actual direct materials cost $513,000
1. Determine the pre-determined overhead rate for 2017.
2. Enter the overhead costs incurred and the amounts applied during the year using the pre-determined overhead rate and determine whether overhead is overapplied or underapplied.
3. Prepare the adjusting entry to allocate any over- or underapplied overhead to Cost of Goods Sold.
