How to company applies overhead cost to jobs


Sovereign Millwork, Ltd., produces reproductions of antique residential moldings at a plant located in Manchester, England. Because there are hundreds of products, some of which are made only to order, the company uses a job-order costing system. On July 1, the start of the company's fiscal year, inventory account balances were as follows:

Raw materials £ 10,000
Work in process £ 4,000
Finished goods £ 8,000

The company applies overhead cost to jobs on the basis of machine-hours. Its predetermined overhead rate for the fiscal year starting July 1 was based on a cost formula that estimated £99,000 of manufacturing overhead for an estimated activity level of 45,000 machine-hours. During the year, the following transactions were completed:

a. Raw materials purchased on account, £160,000.
b. Raw materials requisitioned for use in production, £140,000 (materials costing £120,000 were chargeable directly to jobs; the remaining materials were indirect).
c. Costs for employee services were incurred as follows:

Direct labor £ 90,000
Indirect labor £ 60,000
Sales commissions £ 20,000
Administrative salaries £ 50,000

d. Prepaid insurance expired during the year, £18,000 (£13,000 of this amount related to factory operations, and the remainder related to selling and administrative activities).
e. Utility costs incurred in the factory, £10,000.
f. Advertising costs incurred, £15,000.
g. Depreciation recorded on equipment, £25,000. (£20,000 of this amount was on equipment used in factory operations; the remaining £5,000 was on equipment used in selling and administrative activities.)
h. Manufacturing overhead cost was applied to jobs, £?. (The company recorded 50,000 machine-hours of operating time during the year.)
