Answer #1

Solution:

Applied overhead = 15000*4 + 10000*4 = $100,000

Overapplied overhead = Applied - actual Overehad = $100000 - $95000 = $5000 Overapplied

Overapplied overhead For Job X and Job Y will be in the ratio of 15000:10000 respectively, therefore,

Overapplied overhead For Job X = $5000*15000/25000 = $3000

Overapplied overhead For Job Y = $5000 - 3000 = $2000

Now,

Job Y (WIP) = Credit to Work in process account = $2000

And,

Job X = 400 units cost of goods sold and 100 units in Finished goods inventory

Credit to cost of goods sold = $3000*400/500 = $2400

Credit to Finished goods inventory = $3000*100/500 = $600

Hence, "The journal entry includes a credit to the Finished Goods (FG) account for $600" is correct answer.

Last option is correct.
