the Work in Process account
Assume you have manufacturing overhead 5,000Journal Entry would be:Dr. Work in Process ---------5,000Cr. Manufacturing Overhead ----------5,000
the calculated values of items that are added to manufacturing work in progress. After the items are added in, they become part of the total retail price of the goods and/or services (the CPI).
APPLIED Overhead is computed using the predetermined overhead rate and is the amount of costs applied (or estimated) to be allocated (needed) for specific jobs. ACTUAL Overhead is found after the manufacturing process is complete which gives the actual amount of used/consumed resources (or total costs) that it needed to complete the job. The two amounts can then be compared afterward which is known as Under- or Overapplied Manufacturing Overhead. When Manufacturing Overhead has a DEBIT balance, overhead is said to be UNDERAPPLIED, meaning that the overhead applied to work in process or to the certain job is LESS than the overhead incurred. On the contrary, when manufacturing overhead has a CREDIT balance, overhead is OVERAPPLIED, meaning that the overhead assigned to work in process or to the certain job is GREATER than the overhead incurred.

WIP is Work in Progress/Process. Not raw material or finished goods but in between.
In a service organisation which uses job-order costing, the cost of inputs brought from outside (subcontracted work) is comparable to the cost of direct materials used in a manufacturing organisation. Similarly, the direct staff costs in a service organisation correspond with the direct labour costs in a manufacturing organisation. The office overhead expenses in a service organisation is similar to the manufacturing overhead in a manufacturing organisation. The cost of any completed work is simlar to the cost of finished goods inventory in a manufacturing organisation. Basically the names of the accounts used in a service organisation are different to those used in a manufacturing organisation. The work-in-process account in a service organisation would therefore have cost of subcontracted work, direct staff cost and office overhead cost on the debit side; the cost of completed work would be on the credit side. Other than the terminology, everything else in the flow of costs remains the same. The pre-determined overhead rate can be calculated by using an overhead allocation base such as direct staff costs and each completed job can be allocated with the appropriate portion of the estimated overhead based on the actual direct staff costs incurred on the project.
The Towson Manufacturing Corporation applies overhead on the basis of machine hours. The following divisional information is presented for your review:Division ADivision BActual machine hours22,500?Estimated machine hours Overhead application: Working backward20,000?Overhead application rate$4.50$5.00Actual overhead$110,000?Estimated overhead?$90,000Applied overhead?$86,000Over- (under-) applied overhead?$6,500Find the unknowns for each of the divisions.
beginning work in process + requisted for manufacturing ( direct material + direct labor + man. overhead ) = cost of goods completed + ending work in process
Trick question-not enough info provided. The difference between what costs were incurred and what costs were applied to WIP may not have anything to do with the cost associated with what was shipped out the door.
