Blue Co.'s Job 405 for the manufacture of 2,200 wagons was completed during August at the unit costs presented
below.
Direct materials
$24
Direct labor
18
Factory overhead
14
$56
Final inspection of Job 405 disclosed 200 spoiled wagons that were sold to a jobber for $6,000.
Assume that spoilage loss is attributable to the exacting specifications of Job 405 and is charged to this specific
job. What would be the unit cost of the good wagons produced on Job 405?
PVW Company manufactures products to customer specifications. A job costing system is used to accumulate production costs. During the month of September, an order (Job X2) by a customer comprised 5,000 units of the product; manufacturing cost is $5.00 per unit. The processing of this job, however, resulted in spoilage of 400 units, considered normal with no disposal value, attributable to this specific job.
Required:
How will you account for the above transaction, for example, in a journal entry?
Determine the unit cost showing computations.
What entry would Gell make to adjust the manufacturing overhead account for overallocated or underallocated overhead?
Gell Corporation manufactures computers. Assume that Gell:
• allocates manufacturing overhead based on machine hours
• estimated 12,000 machine hours and $93,000 of manufacturing overhead costs
• actually used 16,000 machine hours and incurred the following actual costs:

- A machine shop manufactures a stainless steel part that is used in an assembled product. Materials charged to a particular jobamounted to 600. At the point of final inspection, it was discoveredthat the material used was inferior to the specifications required bythe engineering department; therefore, all units had to be scrapped. Record the entries required for scrap under each of the following conditions: a. The revenue received for scrap is to be treated as a reductionin manufacturing cost but cannot be identified with a specificjob. The value of stainless steel scrap is stable and estimatedto be 125 for this job. The scrap is sold two months later forcash at the estimated value of 125. b. Revenue received for scrap is to be treated as a reduction inmanufacturing cost but cannot be identified with a specificjob. A firm price is not determinable for the scrap until it issold. It is sold eventually for 75 cash. c. The production job is a special job, and the 85 received onaccount for the scrap is to be treated as a reduction inmanufacturing cost. (A firm price is not determinable for thescrap until it is sold.) d. Only 40 cash was received for the scrap when it was sold inthe following fiscal period.

Job X10 was for 1,000 motors to be used in a specially designed electrical complex. The followingcosts were determined for each motor: At final inspection, Lloyd discovered that 33 motors did not meet the exacting specifications established by the customer. Anexamination indicated that 18 motors were beyond repair andshould be sold as spoiled goods for 75 each. The remaining15 motors, though defective, could be reconditioned as first-qualityunits by the addition of 1,650 for materials, 1,500 for labor, and1,200 for factory overhead. Required: Prepare the journal entries to record the following: 1. The scrapping of the 18 motors, with the income from spoiledgoods treated as a reduction in the manufacturing cost of thespecific job. 2. The correction of the 15 defective motors, with the additionalcost charged to the specific job. 3. The additional cost of replacing the 18 spoiled motors with newmotors. 4.
