Explanation:

Job A3B was ordered by a customer on September 25.

The company applies overhead at a rate of 200% of the direct labor cost incurred.

Cost of September:

$2,500 of Direct Materials (DM)

$4,000 of Direct Labor (DL)

$4,000 manufactured overhead (OH)

Total job cost = DM + DL + (OH)

Total Job Cost = $2500+$4000 + ($4000*200%)

Total Job Cost=$2500+$4000+$8000

Total Job Cost=14500 (Cost for September)

Cost of October:

$3,000 of direct materials

$6,500 of direct labor

$6,500 manufactured overhead

Total job cost = DM + DL + (OH)

Total Job Cost = $3000+$6500 + ($6500*200%)

Total Job Cost=$3000+$6500+$13000

Total Job Cost=22500 (Cost for October)

Total cost of Job A3B = September $14,500 + October $22,500 = $37,000

Work in process contains the sum of the costs on job cost sheets for jobs that are not yet complete.
