Multiple Choice

• $255,700

• $182,400

• $260,600

• $221,500

Answer 1

Actual overhead = 60700

Applied overhead = 65600

Over applied overhead = 65600-60700 = 4900

Unadjusted cost of goods sold = 71000+221500-31900 = 260600

Adjusted cost of goods sold = 260600-4900 = 255700

So answer is a) $255700
