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 |
