Solution
Solution:
Actual manufacuring overhead cost incurred = $120,000
Manufacturing overhead applied = $150,000
Overapplied manufacturing overhead = $150,000 - $120,000 = $30,000
1. If manufacturing overhead account is closed to cost of goods sold then overapplied overhead will be transferred to COGS, thus manufacturing overhead will be debited by $30,000 and COGS will be credited by $30,000. Thus resulting in to decrease in cost of goods sold by $30,000.
2.If manufacturing overhead account is closed proportionally to WIP, finished goods and COGS then overapplied overhead will be transferred to WIP, finished goods and COGS in the proporation of their applied rate.
Therefore Required Journal Entry:
Manufacturing Overhead A/c Dr $30,000
To WIP A/c $7,500
To Finished Goods A/c $10,500
To Cost of goods sold $12,000
Therefore related entry will include a credit to cost of goods sold for $12,000.
