C) Overhead is overapplied by $12,500 ($250,000/20,000 Direct Labor Hour = $12.5 per hour, $12.5 per hour * 19,000 hours = $237,500 Applied Overehad, $237,500 - $225,000 = $12,500 Overapplied) 8. B) Increase Finished Goods (overapplied manufacturing overhead will increase finished goods cost, as the goods are being disposed and not sold.) 9. B) $1,500 per batch 1 ($90,000/60 Batches = 1,500 per batch.) 2 310) C) Cost of Goods Sold (Because Cost of Goods Sold are reduced from Sales to get Gross Profit.) 5 5 11) A) Completed or still in process at the end of the period 7 (They have to be taken into consideration to determine the weighted average method, otherwise we won't get an accurate answer.) 3 12) A) Are incurred to prevent quality problems from occuring in the first place. (Preventions costs are incurred to prevent defectives from incurring.)
