Answer 1

The actual manufacturing overhead cost incurred was $55,900 and the manufacturing overhead cost applied to Work in Process was $59,200.

Over applied manufacturing overhead cost = manufacturing overhead cost applied to Work in Process - Actual manufacturing overhead cost incurred

= 59,200 - 55,900

= $3,300

Schedule of cost of goods sold
