    c. Debit: Overhead Control $10,000,000

    Credit: Cost of Goods Sold $10,000,000

    Explanation:

    The journal entry to close the overhead account is presented below:

    Overhead Control A/c Dr $10,000,000

    To Cost of Goods Sold A/c $10,000,000

    (Being the overhead account is closed)

    The computation is shown below:

    = Applied overhead - actual overhead

    where,

    Applied overhead equal to

    = $450 * 100,000 machine hours

    = $45,000,000

    And, the actual overhead is $35,000,000

    So, the amount would be

    = $45,000,000 - $35,000,000

    = $10,000,000

    Since the applied overhead is greater than the actual overhead, so we debited the overhead control account and credited the cost of goods sold account
