Cost Accounting__Job Process Costing

Williams Company uses a job-order costing system and the following information is available from its records. The company has three jobs in process: #6, #9, and #13. Raw material used P120,000 Direct labor per hour P8.50 Overhead applied based on direct labor cost 120% Direct material was requisitioned as follows for each job respectively: 30 percent, 25 percent, and 25 percent; the balance of the requisitions was considered indirect. Direct labor hours per job are 2,500; 3,100; and 4,200; respectively. Indirect labor is P33,000. Other actual overhead costs totaled P36,000. Refer to Williams Company. Assume the balance in Work in Process Inventory was P18,500 on June 1 and P25,297 on June 30. The balance on June 30 represents one job that contains direct material of P11,250. How many direct labor hours have been worked on this job (rounded to the nearest hour)? a. 751 b. 1,324 c. 1,653 d. 2,976

a. 751 Step 1: Determine DL and FOH WIP at June 30: 25,297 Less DM in WIP: 11,250 = 14,047 Step 2: Separate DL and FOH Let x = DL; 1.2x = FOH x + 1.2x = 14,047 2.2x = 14,047 x = P6,385 Step 3: Compute DL Hours P6,385 ÷ 8.50 = 751 hours

Gamma Co. uses a job-order costing system. At the beginning of January, the company had two jobs in process with the following costs: Direct Material Direct Labor Overhead Job #456 P3,400 P510 P255 Job #461 1,100 289 ?
