Finished goods   1,100,000  debit

        WIP inventory           1,100,000 credit

--transferred-out units for Job N51--

Explanation:

The company applied overhead based on labor cost:

300,000 / 200,000 = 1.5

We now multiply this rate by the actual labor hours to know how much we apply.

220,000 x 1.5 = 330,000

now, the total cost will be:

Materials       550,000

Labor             220,000

Applied MO  330,000

Cost             1,100,000

This is the amount we transfer into finished goods.

At the end of the period, when the actual overhead values are know we adjust the difference against cost of goods sold.

if you use only 25 for your entertainment and only 200 for the groceries that you really need and take out the 50 per month for the computer then that should be enough
