Answer 1

9) Applied overhead = 490000/40000*41000 = 502250

Actual overhead = 150000+340000 = 490000

Over applied overhead = 502250-490000 = 12250

10) Cost of goods available for sale = 37200+1542950 = 1580150

11) Journal entry

No	General Journal	Debit	Credit
	Cost of goods sold	1552950
	Finished goods		1552950

12) Ending finished goods = 1580150-1552950 = 27200
