Kims Asphalt does driveway and parking lot resurfacing work for large commercial clients as well as small residential clients. An inventory of raw materials is on hand at all times so that work can start as quickly as possible. On May 1, the Raw Materials inventory account had a balance of $24,000. As of May 1, the Work In Process (WIP) inventory account had two jobs not yet complete with the following costs:

	Job 27 Highlands Mall	Job 33 Pine Ridge Estates
Direct Materials	$10,250	$35,000
Direct Labor	9,000	17,500
MOH (allocated)	2,700	5,250

Overhead is allocated at the rate of 30% of direct labor costs. MOH is allocated at the end of the month for incomplete jobs, and again when a job is completed.

Questions:

1. Prepare journal entries to record the flow of costs for operations during May as reflected in 1-10 above. Use only control accounts (Ignore subsidiary accounts). Group transactions into one journal entry where feasible (e.g., record all uses of direct DM in one journal entry).
2. Compute the amount of under- or over-applied MOH for the month of May.
3. Determine the ending balances of all inventory accounts (prior to MOH closing entry in question 4 below).
4. Prepare the journal entry to close out the MOH account assuming under- or overallocated overhead is:
   1. charged to CICS
   2. prorated based on the ending balances of the relevant accounts
