Problem: Birmingham Bowling Ball Company (BBBC) uses a job-order costing system to accumulate manufacturing  costs. The company's work-in-process on December 31, 20x3, consisted of one job (no. 3088), which was carried on the year-end balance sheet at $78,400. There was no finished-goods inventory on this date. BBBC applies manufacturing overhead to production on the basis of direct-labor cost. Budgeted totals for 20x4 for direct labor and manufacturing overhead are $2,100,000 and $2,730,000, respectively.

Actual results for the year follow.

Job no. 3088 was completed in January 20x4; there was no work in process at year-end. All jobs produced during 20x4 were sold with the exception of job no. 3154, which contained direct-material costs of $78,000 and direct-labor charges of $42,500. BBBC charges any under- or overapplied overhead to compute the amount of under- or overapplied overhead at year-end, and prepare the necessary journal entry to record its disposition.
