Answer:

A. Dr Finished Goods $560,240.00

Cr Work In Process $560,240.00

B. $76,760.00

Explanation:

A. Preparation of the journal entry to record the jobs complete

First step is to Calculate the amount of total jobs completed

Job 210 182,500.00

Job 224 232,190.00

Job 216 78,300.00

Job 230 67,250.00

Cost of completed jobs 560,240.00

(182,500.00+232,190.00+78,300.00+67,250.00)

Now let prepare the Journal Entry

Dr Finished Goods $560,240.00

Cr Work In Process $560,240.00

B. Calculation to Determine the cost of the unfinished jobs at January 31.

First step is to calculate the work in process Amount

Balance at January 1 85,800.00

Add Direct Materials 115,000.00

Add Direct Labor 140,000.00

Add Factory Overhead 296,200.00

Balance in work in process 637,000.00

Now let determine the cost of the unfinished jobs at January 31

Balance in work in process 637,000.00

Less: Cost of completed jobs 560,240.00

Cost of unfinished jobs on January 31 76,760.00

Therefore the cost of the unfinished jobs at January 31 will be $76,760.00
