    The journal entry is shown below:

    Work in Process A/c - Assembly department A/c Dr $52,320

    Work in Process A/c - Finishing department A/c Dr $41,440

    To Manufacturing overhead A/c $93,760

    (Being the overhead are allocated to the Assembly and Finishing Departments)

    The allocation of the assembly department equals to

    = Raw material * percentage of labor cost

    = $32,700 * 160%

    = $52,320

    The allocation of the finishing department equals to

    = (Factory labor cost - factory labor) * percentage of labor cost

    = ($63,800 - $37,900) * 160%

    = $25,900 * 160%

    = $41,440
