O'Leary Corporation manufactures special purpose portable structures (huts, mobile offices, and so on) for use at construction sites. It only builds to order (each unit is built to customer specifications). O'Leary uses a normal job costing system. Direct labor at O'Leary is paid $35 per hour, but the employees are not paid if they are not working on jobs. Manufacturing overhead is assigned to jobs by a predetermined rate on the basis of direct labor-hours. The company incurred manufacturing overhead costs during two recent years (adjusted for price-level changes using current prices and wage rates) as follows. Direct labor-hours worked Manufacturing overhead costs incurred Indirect labor Year 1 70,600 Year 2 57,600 $2,904,000 $2,304,000 Employee benefits 1,059,000 864,000 Supplies 706,000 576,000 Power 663,000 558,000 Heat and light 145,200 145,200 Supervision 786,690 667,050 Depreciation Property taxes and insurance Total manufacturing overhead costs 2,090,500 823,610 $9,178,000 2,090,500 859,250 $8,064,000 At the beginning of year 3, O'Leary has two jobs, which have not yet been delivered to customers. Job MC-270 was completed on December 27, year 2. It is scheduled to ship on January 7, year 3. Job MC-275 is still in progress. For the purpose of computing the predetermined overhead rate, O'Leary uses the previous year's actual overhead rate. Data on direct material costs and direct labor- hours for these jobs in year 2 follow. Direct material costs Direct labor-hours Job MC-270 $273,600 2,680 hours Job MC-275 $498,600 3,380 hours During year 3, O'Leary incurred the following direct material costs and direct labor-hours for all jobs worked in year 3, including the completion of Job MC-275. Direct material costs Direct labor-hours $11,843,600 77,600 Actual manufacturing overhead $ 9,984,000 At the end of year 3, there were four jobs that had not yet shipped. Data on these jobs follow.

What was the amount in the beginning Finished Goods and beginning Work-in-Process accounts for year 3? b. O'Leary incurred direct materials costs of $60,600 and used an additional 660 hours in year 3 to complete job MC-275. What was the final (total) cost charged to job MC-275? c. What was over- or underapplied overhead for year 3? d. O'Leary prorates any over- or underapplied overhead to Cost of Goods Sold, Finished Goods Inventory, and Work-in-Process Inventory. Prepare the journal entry to prorate the over- or underapplied overhead. e. A customer has asked O'Leary to bid on a job to be completed in year 4. O'Leary estimates that the job will require about $94,300 in direct materials and 5,180 direct labor-hours. Because of the economy, O'Leary expects demand for its services to be low in year 4, and the CEO wants to bid aggressively, but does not want to lose any money on the project. O'Leary estimates that there would be virtually no sales or administrative costs associated with this job. What is the minimum amount O'Leary can bid on the job and still not incur a loss?
