Explanation / Answer

1- Journal entry to recognize the cost of the job:

Debit Cost of Goods Sold by $1,500 and Credit Finished Goods by $1,500

(Assuming there is no purchases during the period and no opening stock of finished goods. When finished goods are sold, the cost of finished goods are transferred from finished goods to cost of goods sold. Since the sale has been made, the cost of goods sold is charged with the manufacturing cost of the related job)

2- Journal entry to record the closing of the underapplied overhead:

Debit Cost of Goods Sold by $200 and Credit Overhead Control by $200

(underapplied overhead means actual overhead is more than applied overhead hence it should be allocated to cost of goods sold)
