Multiple Choice

The Bristol Company uses a job-order cost system. The following data were recorded for June: $\begin{array}{lrr}& \text {June 1 } && \text {Added During June } \\ &\text {Work in Process } & \text { Direct} & \text {Direct}\\\\\end{array}$
$\begin{array}{lrr}\text { Job Number} &\text { Stock }& \text { Materials }&\text { Labour }\\235 & £ 2,500 & £ 600 &£ 400 \\236 &£ 1,500 & £ 800 & £ 1,000 \\237 & £ 1,000 & £ 1,200 & £ 1,750 \\238 & £ 800 & £ 1,500 &£ 2,250 \end{array}$


In the previous question overhead is charged to production at 80% of direct materials cost. Jobs 235, 237, and 238 were completed during June and transferred to finished goods. Jobs 235 and 238 have been delivered to customers.
