Answer 1

Answer:

Cost of Goods Sold, after adjustment for overapplied manufacturing overhead, for the year must have been $69,000.

Explanation:

From the question, we have:

Applied manufacturing overhead cost = $29,000

Actual manufacturing overhead cost = $27,000

Cost of Goods Manufactured for the year = $71,000

Overapplied manufacturing overhead = Applied manufacturing overhead cost - Actual manufacturing overhead cost = $29,000 - $27,000 = $2,000

Therefore, we have:

Cost of Goods Sold = Cost of Goods Manufactured for the year - Overapplied manufacturing overhead = $71,000 - $2,000 = $69,000

Therefore, Cost of Goods Sold, after adjustment for overapplied manufacturing overhead, for the year must have been $69,000.
