The Brass Works is in the process of determining manufacturing overhead. Journalize events (a) through (d) to Factory Overhead, Administrative Expenses, or Selling Expenses, or allocate between the three as appropriate. All items were paid in cash at the time of acquisition. Next, calculate the overhead application rate and apply overhead to Work in Process.

(a)Brass Works purchases an insurance policy for $4,000. It has been determined that 80% of the value of the policy protects production, and the balance protects the administrative offices. Brass Works charges insurance initially to expense.
(b)The electric bill shows an amount due of $1,200. This meter is utilized only by production, as the office spaces have their own meter.
