WIP inventory 904.91 debit

Finished goods 67.868,16 debit

COGS 35.239,43 debit

Factory overhead 104,012.5 credit

Explanation:

overhead rate_

642,500 / 514,000 = 1.25

labor cost

190,124 x 1.25 = 237.655‬ weight 33.88%

360,580 x 1.25 = 450.725‬ weight 65.25%

10,486 x 1.25 = 13.107,5‬ weights 0.87%

total overhead 701.487,5‬

actual overhead 805,500

over-allocated: 104.012,5‬

we debit all this concepts as they were understated and credit the applied overheas as it was under allocated.
