Answer:

[Debit] Work In Process : Assembly Department $47,064

[Debit] Work In Process : Finishing Department $19,504

[Credit] Overheads $66,568

Explanation:

Note that overheads are assigned to departments on the basis of 160% of labor costs. Thus, our first point of call is to determine the labor cost for the respective departments. After that we then apply the 160 % to arrive at the Overheads assigned to that department

Step 1

Determine Departmental Labor Cost

Total Labor Costs         =   $62,800

Assembly Department = ( $44,400)

Finishing Department  =    $18,400

Step 2

Determine Overhead Cost for the Departments

Assembly Department ( $44,400 × 160 %) = $47,064

Finishing Department  ( $18,400 × 160 %)  = $19,504

Step 3

Journalize

Debit the Work In Process Account for the respective department and Credit the Overheads Account as above.
