Answer:

Calculate cost of Raw Materials at work in process, June 30,

JN Corporation is assigning/ allocating manufacturing overhead cost on jobs on the basis of direct labour cost.
So, Cost of Manufacturing overhead as % of direct labour cost will be:

Formula= Manufacturing overhead cost (on Job)/ Direct labour cost (on Job) *100
=6292/4840*100= 130%

So, JN Corporation is assigning Manufaturing overhead rate as 130% of direct labour cost.
Now, Work-in-process invertory on June 30 contains Rs. 9940 as direct labour cost.

So, amount of cost of manufacturing overhead at work in process, June 30 will be-

Formula= Manufacturing overhead rate*direct labour hours
=130%*9940= Rs. 12922
