Problem 7-59 (Static) Cost Flows through Accounts (LO 7-2, 3, 4) Brighton Services repairs locomotive engines. It employs 100 full-time workers at $20 per hour. Despite operating at capacity, last year's performance was a great disappointment to the managers. In total, 10 jobs were accepted and completed, incurring the following total costs. Direct materials Direct labor Manufacturing overhead $1,035,400 4,000,000 1,040,000 Of the $1,040,000 manufacturing overhead, 30 percent was variable overhead and 70 percent was fixed. This year, Brighton Services expects to operate at the same activity level as last year, and overhead costs and the wage rate are not expected to change. For the first quarter of this year, Brighton Services completed two jobs and was beginning the third (Job 103). The costs incurred follow. Job 101 102 103 Direct Materials $137,200 Direct Labor $490,000 93,000 312,400 94,000 197,600 Total manufacturing overhead Total marketing and administrative costs 271,200 112,000 You are a consultant associated with Lodi Consultants, which Brighton Services has asked for help.

You are told that Jobs 101 and 102 were sold for $850,000 and $550,000, respectively. All over- or underapplied overhead for the quarter is written off to Cost of Goods Sold. Required: a. Present in T-accounts the actual manufacturing cost flows for the three jobs in the first quarter of this year. b.
