Finlon Upholstery, Inc. uses a job order costing system to accumulate manufacturing
costs. The company’s work-in-process on December 31, 20×1, consisted of
one job (no. 2077), which was carried on the year-end balance sheet at
$156,800. There was no finished-goods inventory on this date.
Finlon applies manufacturing overhead to production
on the basis of direct-labor cost. (The budgeted direct-labor cost is the
company’s
practical capacity, in terms of direct-labor hours, multiplied by the budgeted
direct labor rate.) Budgeted totals for 20×2 for direct labor and manufacturing
overhead are $4,200,000 and $5,460,000, respectively. Actual results for the
year follow.

Job no. 2077 was completed in January 20×2; there
was no work in process at year-end. All jobs produced during 20×2 were sold
with the exception of job no. 2143, which contained direct-material costs of
$156,000 and direct-labor charges of $85,000. The company charges any under- or
over applied overhead to Cost of Goods Sold.

2. Determine the
additions to the Work-in-Process Inventory account for direct material used,
direct labor, and manufacturing overhead.
