Moira Company has just finished its first year of operations and must decide which method to use for adjusting cost of goods sold. The company used a predetermined manufacturing overhead rate for its manufacturing operations. The amount that was allocated ($435,000) to work in process was different from the actual amount incurred ($425,000). Following are the respective ending balances in the accounts that contained manufacturing overhead costs:
Work-in-Process $40,000
Finished Goods 80,000
Cost of Goods Sold 680,000
Required:
a. Prepare a journal entry to write off the difference between allocated and actual overhead directly to Cost of Goods Sold. Be sure your journal entry closes the related overhead accounts.
b. Prepare a journal entry that prorates the write-off of the difference between allocated and actual overhead using ending account balances. Be sure your journal entry closes the related overhead accounts.
