Application of Job Order Costing

Scanlon Company has a job-order costing system and applies manufacturing overhead cost to products on the basis of machine-hours. The following estimates were used in preparing the predetermined overhead rate for the most recent year:

Machine-hours ............................... 95,000
Manufacturing overhead cost ........ $1,710,000

During the most recent year, a severe recession in the company's industry caused a buildup of inventory in the company's warehouses. The company's cost records revealed the following actual cost and operating data for the year:

Machine-hours ............................................................................. 75,000
Manufacturing overhead cost ...................................................... $1,687,500

Amount of applied overhead in inventories at year-end:

Work in process ........................................................................ $337,500
Finished goods .......................................................................... $253,125
Amount of applied overhead in cost of goods sold .................. $759,375

Required:
