Hawthorn Corporation manufactures custom all-terrain vehicles
(ATVs) and uses a job costing system to assign and track costs. March’s beginning inventory consisted of
the following components:
|
| Raw materials | $
65,000 | |
| Work in process | 27,000 | |
| Finished goods | 80,000 | |
The
above beginning work in process consisted only of Job #02.778. The finished goods inventory consisted of
Job #01.987 ($42,500) and Job #02.665 ($37,500).
|
The
following descriptions summarize the various transactions that occurred
during March:
|
| Purchased
$112,000 of raw materials. |
| Used
$117,000 of raw materials in the production process. Of this amount, $95,000
consisted of parts and other materials “directly” incorporated into
ATVs. The remainder was
“indirect” material for shop supplies and small dollar items that
are not otherwise traceable to specific ATVs. |
| Total wages and salaries were $225,000. This total was 60% attributable to direct
labor, 10% to indirect labor, 5% to sales commissions, and 25% to general and
administrative activities. |
| Depreciation for the period totaled $28,000. Of this amount, 75% related to factory and
factory related equipment, and is contemplated in the factory overhead
rates. The other 25% is related to
general and administrative activities. |
| Other general and administrative costs, excluding wages and
depreciation, totaled $15,000. |
| Other factory overhead costs, excluding indirect materials,
wages, and depreciation, totaled $35,500. |
| Hawthorn applies factory overhead at 75% of direct labor costs. |
The ending work in process consisted of two jobs: Job #03.004 ($25,500) and Job #03.772
($21,500). All completed units had
been delivered to customers, and there was no ending finished goods
inventory. Sales for the month
amounted to $625,000. All sales are
for cash at time of shipment.

| (a) | Prepare T-accounts
showing how the above costs flow through the accounting system. For simplicity, you may assume that all
expenditures and receipts settle in cash, and you will only need the
following T-accounts: |
| Raw Materials | Selling Expenses |
| Work in Process | General &
Administrative Expenses |
| Finished Goods | Sales | |
| Cost of Goods Sold | Cash | |
| Factory Overhead | Accumulated Depreciation |
| | | |
| (b) | Was overhead
underapplied or overapplied? What is
the disposition of the difference between actual and applied factory
overhead? |
| (c) | Prepare an income
statement for March. Income taxes of
$50,000 were incurred during March. |
