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   20,800 116   36,200   115   42,000 Other   35,800   116   18,000     $96,500   Other   25,900             $114,500	Â	Â	Â	Â
