$234,820

Less: Over-applied overhead (refer Note)

($5,720)

Cost of Goods Sold to be reported for 2019 after overhead variance has been closed

$229,100

Note -- Calculation of Overhead Variance:

Total Applied Manufacturing Overhead = $174,720

Actual Overhead Incurred = $169,000

Applied Overhead is higher than actual incurred overhead, it means the overhead are overapplied.

Over Applied Overhead =$174,720 - $169,000 = $5,720
