Question
MMX Company produces pipes for concert-quality organs. Each job is unique. In April 2018, it completed all outstanding orders, and then, in May 2018, it worked on only two jobs, M1 and M2:Rafael Company, May 2018 Job M1 Job M2Direct materials56,000Direct manufacturing labour205,000 Direct manufacturing labour is paid at the rate of 18 per direct manufacturing labour-hour. Only Job M1 was completed in May. What is the ending balance in the Work-in-Process Control account?
Solution
To calculate the ending balance in the Work-in-Process Control account, we need to calculate the total manufacturing cost for each job and then subtract the cost of the job that was completed.
First, let's calculate the total manufacturing cost for each job:
-
Calculate the number of labour hours for each job by dividing the direct manufacturing labour cost by the hourly rate. For Job M1, it's 25 = 11,080 hours. For Job M2, it's 25 = 8,200 hours.
-
Calculate the manufacturing overhead for each job by multiplying the number of labour hours by the overhead rate. For Job M1, it's 11,080 hours * 199,440. For Job M2, it's 8,200 hours * 147,600.
-
Add up the direct materials, direct manufacturing labour, and manufacturing overhead to get the total manufacturing cost for each job. For Job M1, it's 277,000 (labour) + 555,440. For Job M2, it's 205,000 (labour) + 408,600.
Now, subtract the cost of the job that was completed (Job M1) from the total manufacturing cost of both jobs:
408,600 (Job M2) - 408,600
So, the ending balance in the Work-in-Process Control account is $408,600.
