Answer:3 years
Explanation:
Cliff vesting is when an employee of a company becomes fully vested on a specified date rather than the employee becoming partially vested in increasing amounts over extended period. Cliff Vesting is a process whereby the employees are entitled to full benefits from their firm’s pension policies and qualified retirement plans on a given date.
Upon the completion of the cliff period, employees receive full benefits. The Pension Protection Act of 2006 deduced a three-year cliff vesting schedule for the designated defined-contribution plans which includes 401Ks.
The following information is taken from the accounts of Latta Company. The entries in the T-accounts are summaries of the transactions that affected those accounts during the year. Manufacturing Overhead (a) 486,144 (b) 405,120 Bal. 81,024 Work in Process Bal. 10,880 (c) 754,000 298,500 90,500 (b) 405,120 Bal. 51,000 Finished Goods Bal. 39,000 (d) 662,000 (c) 754,000 Bal. 131,000 Cost of Goods Sold (d) 662,000 The overhead that had been applied to production during the year is distributed among Work in Process, Finished Goods, and Cost of Goods Sold as of the end of the year as follows: Work in Process, ending $ 24,480 Finished Goods, ending 62,880 Cost of Goods Sold 317,760 Overhead applied $ 405,120 For example, of the $51,000 ending balance in work in process, $24,480 was overhead that had been applied during the year. Required: 1. Identify reasons for entries (a) through (d). 2. Assume that the underapplied or overapplied overhead is closed to Cost of Goods Sold. Prepare the necessary journal entry. 3. Assume that the underapplied or overapplied overhead is closed proportionally to Work in Process, Finished Goods, and Cost of Goods Sold. Prepare the necessary journal entry.
Answer and Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
1.
a) Cost of goods manufactured.
b) Cost of goods sold.
c) Overhead cost applied to work in process
d) Actual manufacturing overhead cost.
2. Journal Entry
Manufacturing overhead A/c Dr. 81,024
To cost of goods sold A/c. 81,024
3.
Work in process ending $24,480 =6.04%
Finished goods ending $62,880 =15.52%
Cost of goods sold $317,760 =78.44%
Total cost $405.120 =100%
To calculate overhead allocation :
Work in process ending = ($81,024× 6.04%) =$4,894
Finished goods ending = ($81,024 × 15.52%) =$12,575
Cost of goods sold = ($81,024 × 78.44%) = $63,355
Total cost = $81,024
Journal Entry
Manufacturing overhead A/c Dr. 81,024
To work in process A/c. $4,893
To finished goods A/c. $12,575
To cost of goods sold A/c. $63,555
