Problem - StarMart manufactures skateboards. The company has a highly automated production process, so It allocates manufacturing overhead based on machine hours. StarMart expects to incur $340,000 of manufacturing overhead costs and to use 5,000 machine hours during 2009.

At the end of 2008, StarMart reported the following inventories:

Raw Materials Inventory $30,000

Work in Process Inventory $27,000

Finished Goods Inventory $21,000

During January 2009, StarMart actually used 400 machine hours and recorded the following transactions:

a. Purchased materials on account, $41,000.

b. Used direct materials, $39,000

i. Operating expenses incurred, excluding depreciation was $52,000 and depreciation was $7,000.

1. Compute StarMart's predetermined manufacturing overhead rate for 2009 showing the entire equation with numerator and denominator in good form. 

2. Create T accounts for the following accounts (a two column table can be used for T account): Raw Materials Inventory, Work in Process Inventory, Finished Goods Inventory, Cost of Goods Sold, Manufacturing Overhead, Accounts Receivable, Sales, Accounts Payable and Wages Payable. Post the inventory balances and transactions to these accounts and calculate the ending balances.

3. Record the journal entry to close the ending balance of Manufacturing Overhead. Post your entry to the T-accounts 

4. Was manufacturing overhead over/underapplied and by how much? (5 points)

5. Prepare a Schedule of Cost of Goods Manufactured (in good form) for the month of January

6. Prepare a Schedule of Cost of Goods Sold (in good form) for the month of January 

7. Prepare an Income Statement for the month of January (in good form). The company is in the 30% income tax bracket.
