Sagot :

Answer:

b) adjusting entry will require a credit to Cost of Goods Sold.

c) Factory Overhead account has a credit balance of $300 before adjusting.

Explanation:

Given that

Actual Overhead = $1200 i.e. debited to the factory overhead account  

And,

Applied overhead = $1500 i.e. Credited to the factory overhead account

So, the Factory overhead account has a credit balance of $300 prior adjusting

Also the applied overhead is higher than the actual one so the adjusting entry would needed to credit to the cost of goods sold
