REQUIRED:
1. Compute the predetermined overhead rate for 2017.

3. Prepare a schedule of cost of goods manufactured for the year. Assume all raw materials are used in production as direct materials.
4. Compute the unadjusted cost of goods sold for the year. Do not include any under/overapplied overhead in your answer.
5. What options are available for disposing of under/overapplied overhead?
6. Job 140 was started and completed during the year. What selling price would have been charged to the customer, if the job required $3,200 in materials and $4,200 in direct labor cost, and the company priced its jobs at 40% above the jobâs cost according to the accounting system?
7. Direct labor made up $8,000 of the $40,000 ending inventory balance for Work in Process. Compute the direct materials cost and the manufacturing overhead costs on this job.
