Prepare the journal entry to apply factory overhead.

Respuesta :

Answer and Explanation:

The journal entry to record the factory overhead is given below:

Predetermined Overhead rate is

= Estimated overhead ÷ Estimated machine hours

= $1,470,000 ÷ 40,000

= $36.75 per mh

Now journal entry is  

Work in Process $175,665  

     To Factory Overhead $175,665   (4780 × 36.75)

(Being the factory overhead applied is recorded)

Here work in process is debited as it increased the assets and credited the factory overhead as it decreased the expense
