Explanation / Answer

Solution 1:

Solution 2:

Refer T accounts in 1:

Ending material inventory = $38,000

Ending Work in process inventory = $270,000

Ending finished goods inventory = $293,500

Overapplied overhead = $309,000

Solution 3:

Overapplied overhead to be closed in WIP = $309,000 * $270,000 / ($270,000 + $293,500 + $156,500)

= $115,875

Overapplied overhead to be closed to finished goods = $309,000 * $293,500 / ($270,000 + $293,500 + $156,500)

= $125,960

Overapplied overhead to be closed to COGS = $309,000 * $156,500 / ($270,000 + $293,500 + $156,500)

= $67,165
