Date   Account Titles and Explanation        Debit         Credit

           WIP - Assembly department             $57,600

           WIP - Finishing department               $40,000

           (To assign overheads to assembly and finishing department)

Explanation:

Labor cost assigned to assembly = $36,000

Labor cost assigned to finishing = $61,000 - $36,000 = $25000

Manufacturing cost assigned to assembly = $36,000 *160% = $57600

Manufacturing cost assigned to finishing = $25000 * 160% = $40000
