Dillon Products manufactures various machined parts to customer specifications. The company uses a job-order costing system and applies overhead cost to jobs on the basis of machine-hours. At the beginning of the year, the company used a cost formula to estimate that it would incur $4,192,500 in manufacturing overhead cost at an activity level of 559,000 machine-hours. The company spent the entire month of January working on a large order for 12,300 custom-made machined parts. The company had no work in process at the beginning of January. Cost data relating to January follow:

a. Raw materials purchased on account, $322,000.
b. Raw materials used in production, $258,000 (80% direct materials and 20% indirect materials).
c. Labor cost accrued in the factory, $159,000 (one-third direct labor and two-thirds indirect labor).
d. Depreciation recorded on factory equipment, $63,100.
e. Other manufacturing overhead costs incurred on account, $85,000.
f. Manufacturing overhead cost was applied to production on the basis of 40,720 machine-hours actually worked during the month.
g. The completed job for 12,300 custom-made machined parts was moved into the finished goods warehouse on January 31 to await delivery to the customer. (In computing the dollar amount for this entry, remember that the cost of a completed job consists of direct materials, direct labor, and applied overhead.)

Required:
1. Prepare journal entries to record items (a) through (f) above (ignore item (g) for the moment).
2. Prepare T-accounts for Manufacturing Overhead and Work in Process. Post the relevant items from your journal entries to these T-accounts.
3. Prepare a journal entry for item (g) above.
4. Compute the unit product cost that will appear on the job cost sheet.

Concord Windows manufactures and sells custom storm windows for three-season porches. Concord also provides installation service for the windows. The installation process does not involve changes in the windows, so this service can be performed by other vendors. Concord enters into the following contract on July 1, 2020, with a local homeowner. The customer purchases windows for a price of $2,360 and chooses Concord to do the installation. Concord charges the same price for the windows irrespective of whether it does the installation or not. The installation service is estimated to have a standalone selling price of $620. The customer pays Concord $1,920 (which equals the standalone selling price of the windows, which have a cost of $1,100) upon delivery and the remaining balance upon installation of the windows. The windows are delivered on September 1, 2020, Concord completes installation on October 15, 2020, and the customer pays the balance due.

With the snow season fast approaching us, Jack Frost, age 15, is considering his income-generating alternatives. Jack runs a snow removal business. He employs his friends at $10.00 per hour to clear sidewalks and driveways for neighbors, family friends, and fellow townsfolk. Last year, he had ten regular customers whose walks were shoveled 14 times each over the course of the winter. All told, Jack paid his friends $2,100 for their work for him this winter. Jack is considering the purchase of a used snowblower, which he believes will reduce the amount of time it takes his crew to complete a job to only 45 minutes. The snowblower will cost $1,176 (and will probably be worthless after one year of use), and will consume about $0.50 worth of gasoline and oil per use (per snow removal job). Given that Jack had no fixed costs, what was Jack's total cost function for last year?a. TC = 15Q b. TC = 100 c. TC = 11760 d. TC=0.5Q
