Question: Journal entries, T-accounts, and source documents. Visual Company produces gadgets for the coveted small appliance market. The following data reflect activity for the year 2017:
Visual Co. uses a normal-costing system and allocates overhead to work in process at a rate of $3.10 per direct manufacturing labor dollar. Indirect materials are insignificant so there is no inventory account for indirect materials.
1. Prepare journal entries to record the transactions for 2017 including an entry to close out over- or underallocated overhead to cost of goods sold. For each journal entry indicate the source document that would be used to authorize each entry. Also note which subsidiary ledger, if any, should be referenced as backup for the entry.
2. Post the journal entries to T-accounts for all of the inventories, Cost of Goods Sold, the Manufacturing Overhead Control Account, and the Manufacturing Overhead Allocated Account.
