Yahir Holmes · Answer 1

The Cost of good sold will decrease by 10,000

The other accounts balance will be the same.

Missing Information:

Ending balances in the relevant accounts were:

Work-in-Process 40,000

Finished Goods 80,000

Cost of Goods Sold 680,000

Explanation:

The company applied overhead for the amount of 435,000

This was charged into finished good which latter become cost of goods sold.

Then, as the actual overhead was 425,000 we have to adjust for the over-applied overehad. We applied more than it cost so we have to reduce it.

435,000 - 425,000 = 10,000

We will decrease our COGS against the factory overhead account.

COGS 10,000 debit

factory overhead 10,000 credit
