Problem:

Maverick Wings, Inc. manufactures airplanes for use in stunt shows. Maverick's factory is highly automated, using the latest in robotic technology. To keep costs low, the company employs as few factory workers as possible. Since each plane has different features (such as its shape, weight, and color), Maverick uses a job order costing system to accumulate product costs.

At the end of 2013, Maverick's accountants developed the following expectations for 2014 based on the marketing department's sales forecast:

Budgeted overhead cost		$1,079,000
Estimated machine hours		44,000
Estimated direct labor hours		9,000
Estimated direct materials cost		$1,520,000

Maverick's inventory count, completed on December 31, 2013, revealed the following ending inventory balances:

Raw Materials Inventory		$250,000
Work in Process Inventory		$625,000
Finished Goods Inventory		$1,240,000

The company's 2014 payroll data revealed the following actual payroll costs for the year:

Job Title		Number Employed		Wage Rate per Hour		Annual Salary per Employee		Total Hours Worked per Employee
President and CEO		1				$228,000
Vice president and CFO		1				$178,000
Factory manager		1				$40,500
Assistant factory manager		1				$30,600
Machine operator		5		$14.50				2,250
Security guard, factory		2				$20,600
Materials handler		2		$7.50				2,000
Corporate secretary		1				$35,800
Janitor, factory		2		$6				2,150

Prepare the appropriate T-accounts for Raw Materials Inventory, Work-in-Process Inventory, Finished Goods Inventory, Manufacturing Overhead Control, Cost of Goods Sold, and Sales, and record Maverick's transactions for 2014. (Post entries in order presented in the problem. Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 345,000.)

Was manufacturing under- or overapplied in 2014? By how much? (Round answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 345,000.)

Make the adjusting entry necessary to close the under- or overapplied overhead to cost of goods sold. (Credit account titles are automatically indented when the amount is entered. Do not indent manually. Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 345,000.)

If Maverick chooses instead to prorate under- or overapplied overhead, what would the adjusted balances be in Work in Process Inventory, Finished Goods Inventory, and Cost of Goods Sold for 2014? (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 345,000 and percentage of total to 2 decimal places e.g. 34.52).

Job 3827 was started and completed in 2014. The job required 700 machine hours, 300 direct labor hours, and $79,000 in direct materials to complete. What was the total cost of this job?
