Manufacturing Overhead ($12,500 80%) =10,000 =10,000

  Finished goods inventory Work in process inventory ($2000 +$2500 + $1900 +1520)= 7,920 =7920

Work in Process Inventory Account

May 1 Balance 3,200

May 31 10,400

May 31 Balance 12,500 28,180

May 31 10,000 May 31 7,920

Job Cost Sheets Job 430 431 1200

BW IP 1200

DM 3500 + 4400 = 7900

DL 3000+ 7600= 10,60 0

MOH 2400 +6080 =8480

Total 10,10 0 + 18,08 0 =28,18 0
