The Eagles Corporation uses a normal job-order costing system in its only production department. Overhead is applied to jobs by a plant-wide overhead rate based on direct labor hours. The first year of operation began on December 1, 2016. During the month of December, Eagles Corporation purchased direct material with a total cost of $4,000. Of the $4,000, Eagles Corporation used $500 on Job 100. Job 100 was the only job worked during the month of December. Eagles Corporation also charged $2,000 in conversion costs (direct labor and applied overhead) to Job 100 in December. JOB 100 WAS NOT FINISHED IN DECEMBER 2016. There was no overapplied or underapplied overhead for December.

For the new year (1/1/2017-12/31/2017), Eagles Corporation had the following transactions

YOUR TASKS:

1. Compute the ending balance in Materials Inventory and Work in Process Inventory as of December 31, 2016. (Please note the Year!)

2. Without preparing a schedule or preparing any computations, what is the Cost of Goods Manufactured for December 31, 2016? (You should be able to do this in your head!)

3. Compute the Predetermined Overhead Rate for 2017.

4. Prepare, in good form, a fully complete Schedule of Cost of Goods Manufactured for 2017.

5. Add together the total cost charged to Jobs 100 and 101. Does this answer equal the amount of Cost of Goods Manufactured that you got in #4? Should it?

6. Compute the underapplied or overapplied overhead for 2017.

7. Prepare, in good form, an income statement for 2017.

8. Now assume that you are to allocate (prorate) the underapplied or overapplied overhead to the appropriate accounts. You should be able to figure out how much applied overhead is in Work in Process (what jobs are not complete?). You can assume that there is $34,765 of applied overhead in Finished Goods. Based on the total applied overhead for the year, you should be able to figure out how much applied overhead should be in Cost of Goods Sold. Do the proration and SHOW YOUR CALCULATIONS!

9. If you were to prepare a new income statement after prorating underapplied or overapplied overhead, would income be higher or lower than what you got in #7? By how much?
