Exercise 3-8 Applying Overhead; Journal Entries; Disposing of Underapplied or Overapplied Overhead [LO3-1, LO3-2, LO3-4] The following information is taken from the accounts of Latta Company. The entries in the T-accounts are summaries of the transactions that affected those accounts during the year. Manufacturing Overhead (a) 499,968 (b) 416,640 Bal. 83,328 Work in Process Bal. 5,360 (c) 778,000 319,500 93,500 (b) 416,640 Bal. 57,000 Finished Goods Bal. 33,000 (d) 674,000 (c) 778,000 Bal. 137,000 Cost of Goods Sold (d) 674,000 The overhead that had been applied to production during the year is distributed among Work in Process, Finished Goods, and Cost of Goods Sold as of the end of the year as follows: Work in Process, ending $ 27,360
Finished Goods, ending 65,760
Cost of Goods Sold 323,520
Overhead applied $ 416,640
For example, of the $57,000 ending balance in work in process, $27,360 was overhead that had been applied during the year. Required:
1. Identify reasons for entries (a) through (d).
2. Assume that the underapplied or overapplied overhead is closed to Cost of Goods Sold. Prepare the necessary journal entry.
3. Assume that the underapplied or overapplied overhead is closed proportionally to Work in Process, Finished Goods, and Cost of Goods Sold. Prepare the necessary journal entry.

1. a would be the Actual Manufacturing cost for the year

b would be the Manufacturing Overhead applied to the Work in Process

c is the Cost of Goods Manufactured in the year

d is the Cost of Goods Sold as shown in the same named account.

DR Cost of Goods Sold                                             $83,328

CR Manufacturing Overhead                                                   $83,328

3.

DR Work in Process                                                   $‭5,472‬

      Finished Goods                                                   $‭13,152‬

      Cost of Goods sold                                             $‭64,704‬

CR Manufacturing Overhead                                                     $83,328

Working

Overhead is distributed as follows;

Work in process = 27,360/ 416,640 * 83,328 = $‭5,472‬

Finished Goods = 65,760/ 416,640 * 83,328 = $‭13,152‬

Cost of Goods sold = 323,520/416,640 * 83,328 = $‭64,704‬

in 2001, dell computer became the world’s largest personal computer vendor, continuing to

gain market share and post profits in an industry struggling with slumping sales and billions of

dollars in losses. dell sells 90% of its pcs directly to the final customer, largely bypassing the

reseller channel that accounts for most of the world’s pc sales. this direct customer relationship

is the key to dell’s business model, and provides distinct advantages over the indirect sales

model. dell’s direct relationship with the customer allows it to tailor its offerings to customer

needs, offer add-on products and services, and use the internet to offer a variety of customer

services. in addition, dell’s pcs are built to customers’ specifications upon receipt of an order,

giving dell additional advantages over indirect pc vendors who must try to forecast demand and

ship products based on those forecasts. dell’s direct sales and build-to-order model has achieved

superior performance in the pc industry in terms of inventory turnover, reduced overhead, cash

conversion, and return on investment (kraemer, et al., 2000).
