Prepare the journal entry to transfer costs


Sweeten Company had no jobs in progress at the beginning of March and no beginning inventories. It started only two jobs during March-Job P and Job Q. Job P was completed and sold by the end of the March and Job Q was incomplete at the end of the March. The company uses a plant wide predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours. The following additional information is available for the company as a whole and for Jobs P and Q (all data and questions relate to the month of March):

  



  Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead $ 14,500
  Estimated variable manufacturing overhead per direct labor-hour $ 1.90
  Estimated total direct labor-hours to be worked
2,900
  Total actual manufacturing overhead costs incurred $ 18,000

  

  Job P Job Q
  Direct materials $ 18,500 $ 8,900
  Direct labor cost $ 40,000 $ 10,000
  Actual direct labor-hours worked
2,000
