How the job cost sheets were completed


Sovereign Millwork, Ltd., produces reproductions of antique residential moldings at a plant located in Manchester, England. Because there are hundreds of products, some of which are made only to order, the company uses a job-order costing system. On July 1, the start of the company's fiscal year, inventory account balances were as follows:

  • Raw materials £ 11,000
  • Work in process £ 4,400
  • Finished goods £ 8,900

The company applies overhead cost to jobs on the basis of machine-hours. Its predetermined overhead rate for the fiscal year starting July 1 was based on a cost formula that estimated £108,000 of manufacturing overhead for an estimated activity level of 45,000 machine-hours. During the year, the following transactions were completed:
