At the end of the year,Metro,Inc.has an unadjusted credit balance in the Manufacturing Overhead account of $750.Which of the following is the year-end adjusting entry needed to adjust the account?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since the Manufacturing Overhead account has an unadjusted credit balance, it means that the actual manufacturing overhead incurred was greater than the manufacturing overhead allocated to jobs. Therefore, we need to increase the cost of goods sold by debiting it with $750 and reduce the balance in the Manufacturing Overhead account by crediting it with $750. This adjustment is reflected in option C, where we debit Manufacturing Overhead for $750 and credit Cost of Goods Sold for $750. Option A and D are incorrect because they interchange the debiting and crediting accounts. Option B is incorrect because it only credits the Finished Goods Inventory and doesn't address the unadjusted credit balance in the Manufacturing Overhead account.
