Jones applies manufacturing overhead to specific job orders on the basis of direct labor hours. During the month of January, the following transactions occurred for Job #345, an order for 10 custom oak chairs, manufactured in the first week of January 2012:

Jan. 3 Requisitioned direct materials (lumber, fabric, paint), $876; put into production on Job #345.

3 Requisitioned indirect materials (glue, staples, sandpaper, and equipment grease), $154, for use in manufacturing the 10 chairs for Job #345, as well as other subsequent jobs.

Jan. 7 Processed time card for Employee 214; 25 direct labor hours attributed to Job #345 at wage rate of $15 per hour.

7 Applied manufacturing overhead at the predetermined rate to Job #345, based on the actual direct labor hours.

7 Processed the manufacturing supervisor’s weekly salary of $1,000. (This salary is considered indirect labor because the supervisor oversees all jobs in process and does not account for her time on a job-by-job basis.)

7 Job #345 was completed and transferred to the finished goods warehouse to await shipment to the customer.

9 The 10 oak chairs (Job #345) were shipped to the customer. The sales invoice reflects a sales price of $3,000 on account.
