In a job-order costing system, indirect labor cost is usually recorded as a debit to:
Manufacturing Overhead.
In a job-order costing system, manufacturing overhead applied is recorded as a debit to:

Product costs that have become expenses can be found in:
cost of goods sold.
When computing the cost per equivalent unit, the weighted-average method of process costing considers:
costs incurred during the current period plus cost of beginning work in process inventory.
In the cost reconciliation report under the weighted-average method, the "Costs to be accounted for" section contains which of the following items?
Cost of beginning work in process inventory
Almendarez Corporation is considering the purchase of a machine that would cost $160,000 and would last for 5 years. At the end of 5 years, the machine would have a salvage value of $19,000. By reducing labor and other operating costs, the machine would provide annual cost savings of $36,000. The company requires a minimum pretax return of 8% on all investment projects. (Ignore income taxes.) Click here to view Exhibit 12B-1 and Exhibit 12B-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using the tables provided.

Management of Plascencia Corporation is considering whether to purchase a new model 370 machine costing $536,000 or a new model 220 machine costing $463,000 to replace a machine that was purchased 9 years ago for $484,000. The old machine was used to make product I43L until it broke down last week. Unfortunately, the old machine cannot be repaired. Management has decided to buy the new model 220 machine. It has less capacity than the new model 370 machine, but its capacity is sufficient to continue making product I43L. Management also considered, but rejected, the alternative of simply dropping product I43L. If that were done, instead of investing $463,000 in the new machine, the money could be invested in a project that would return a total of $488,000. In making the decision to buy the model 220 machine rather than the model 370 machine, the differential cost was: Differential cost = $536,000 − $463,000 = $73,000 differential cost = new model- other new model

Tyare Corporation had the following inventory balances at the beginning and end of May: Raw materials $ 33,000 $ 45,000 Finished Goods $ 82,500 $ 81,000 Work in Process $ 21,000 $ 17,655 During May, $66,000 in raw materials (all direct materials) were drawn from inventory and used in production. The company's predetermined overhead rate was $12 per direct labor-hour, and it paid its direct labor workers $15 per hour. A total of 450 hours of direct labor time had been expended on the jobs in the beginning Work in Process inventory account.
