Debit Cost of goods sold $9,800

Credit Manufacturing overhead expense $9,800

To assign the underapplied overhead to cost of goods sold.

Explanation:

a) Data and calculations:

Estimated overhead costs = $346,775

Estimated machine usage = 126,100 hours

Overhead rate applied = $346,775/126,100 = $2.75 per hour

Actual overhead costs = $369,500

Actual machine usage = 130,800 hours

Actual overhead rate = $369,500/130,800 = $2.82

Overhead was underapplied by the difference between actual overhead costs applied and actual overhead.

Actual overhead applied = $2.75 x 130,800 = $359,700

Actual overhead costs = $369,500

Difference (underapplied) is $9,800

When the overhead is underapplied or overapplied because of the rate used based on actual usage, the underapplied overhead is a debit or credit to the cost of goods sold respectively.  While underapplied overhead increases the cost of goods sold, overapplied reduces the cost of goods sold by the amount of under- or over-application.
