2. Computations
using a job order system

General Corporation employs a job order cost system. On May
1 the following balances were extracted from the general ledger;

Work in process $ 35,200

Finished goods 86,900

Cost of goods sold 128,700

Work in Process consisted of two jobs, no. 101 ($20,400) and
no. 103 ($14,800). During May, direct materials requisitioned from the
storeroom amounted to $96,500, and direct labor incurred totaled $114,500.
These figures are subdivided as follows:

Direct Materials
Direct Labor

Job No. Amount Job No. Amount

101 $5,000 101 $7,800

115 19,500 103
20,800

42,000

Other 35,800 116

$114,500

Job no. 115 was the only job in process at the end of the
month. Job no. 101 and three “other” jobs were sold during May at a
profit of 20% of cost. The “other” jobs contained material and labor
charges of $21,000 and $17,400, respectively.
