The Fabrication Department manager has estimated the following cost drivers and rates: Activity Centers Cost Drivers Rate per Cost Driver Unit Materials handling Pounds of material handled $ 20 per pound Quality inspections Number of inspections $ 220 per inspection Machine setups Number of machine setups $ 2,500 per setup Running machines Number of machine-hours $ 21.00 per hour Direct materials costs were $299,000 and direct labor costs were $146,000 during July, when the Fabrication Department handled 3,500 pounds of materials, made 710 inspections, had 50 setups, and ran the machines for 17,000 hours. Required: Use T-accounts to show the flow of materials, labor, and overhead costs from the four overhead activity centers through Work-in-Process Inventory and out to Finished Goods Inventory.

    146,000

    708,200

    1,153,200

    Explanation:

    3,500pounds x $20 overhead per pound = 70,000

    710 inspections x $220 per inspection = 156,200

    50 setups x $2,500 per setup = 125,000

    17,000 machine hours x $21 = 357,000

    Total applied overhead: 708,200

    The raw material will be credited as we decrease our inventory

    the Direct labor will be wages payable

    the factory overhead will be credited to represent the allcoated amount
