Explanation / Answer
Overhead applied/ allocated = $18900
Actual Overhead = $20,400
Difference = $1500
In the above case overhead is underapplied by $1500 which means Cost of Goods sold account is under-expensed by $1500. It also means this expense is lying in the manufacturing overhead account. We simply transfer the debit balnce in manufacturing overhead account by credituing it to cost of goods sold account by debiting it.
The entry will be
B. Debit Cost of Goods sold account and credit Manufacturing Overhead account for $1,500.
