    2. Cost per unit is $370

    3. Journal

    Work in process inventory 592,000

    4. Ending balance in Work-in-Process Control account is $448,920

    Explanation:

    A B C

    1) Rowan Company, May 2016 Job M1 Job M2

    2) Direct materials $ 75,000 $ 56,000

    3) Direct manufacturing labour 275,000 209,000

    Direct manufacturing labour is paid at the rate of $25 per hour

    Manufacturing overhead costs are allocated at a budgeted rate of $22 per direct manufacturing labour-hour

    1. Direct labor rate = $25 per hour

    Direct labor hours used on Job M1 = Direct manufacturing labor : Direct labor rate

    = 275,000 : 25

    = $ 11,000

    Manufacturing overhead applied to Job M1 = Direct labor hours used on Job M1 x 22

    = $11,000 x 22

    = $242,000

    Job cost sheet (Job M1)

    Direct material = $75,000

    Direct labor = $275,000

    Overhead applied = $242,000

    Total cost = $592,000

    2. Cost per unit = Total cost : Number of units

    = 592,000 : 1,600

    = $370

    3. Journal

    Finished goods inventory 592,000

    Work in process inventory 592,000

    4. Direct labor hours used on Job M2 = Direct manufacturing labor/Direct labor rate

    = 209,000 : 25

    = $8,360

    Manufacturing overhead applied to Job M2 = Direct labor hours used on Job M2 x 22

    = $8,360 x 22

    = $183,920

    Job cost sheet (Job M2)

    Direct material = $56,000

    Direct labor = $209,000

    Overhead applied = $183,920

    Total cost = $448,920

    Ending balance in work in process control account = $448,920
