  1. Jack C Says

    The first answer is (d). The predetermined overhead rate is the estimated overhead divided by the estimated hours or $179,000/12,000 = $14.92.
    The second one is similar, but goes to the next step. The estimated overhead divided by the estimated hours is 360,000/45,000 = $8 per hour. Actual hours of 47,000 times this rate is $376,000. Compared to the actual overhead cost of $377,200, you have UNDERapplied your overhead by $1,200 or (d)
    Period costs are those that must be matched to revenues this period and not inventoried into future periods, such as productions costs are. Therefore, the best answer is (d) general or selling expenses.
    For Happy Company, the numbers are the same as the first problem above or (c) 14.92
    The next problem wants you to identify the difference between production costs, which are inventoried (via work in process) or charged to overhead, as are general factory use hours. Thus the answer is (a) where we increase (debit) work in Process and increase (credit) the liability Wages Payable
    The final problem wants you to recognize that only materials put into production are charged to work in process, so the correct answer is (c), where we increase (debit) Work in Process by 168,000 and decrease (credit) Materials Inventory by 168,000.
    I hope this helps.
