Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Direct materials: $70,000
Direct labor: $40,000
Manufacturing overhead applied: $65,000
Total manufacturing costs: $175,000
Add: Work in process inventory, beginning $0
Total cost of work in process $175,000
Less: Work in process inventory, ending $0
Cost of goods manufactured $175,000
Add: Beginning finished goods inventory $0
Cost of goods available for sale $175,000
Less: Ending finished goods inventory $-5,400
Cost of goods sold $232,340
Since manufacturing overhead was underapplied, we need to allocate the underapplied amount of $7,000 back into the three accounts on the basis of the overhead applied during the month. The overhead applied during the month was $65,000 ($70,000 x 92.86%)
Allocation to work in process: $60,292 ($65,000 x 92.68%)
Allocation to finished goods: $4,364 ($65,000 x 6.32%)
Allocation to cost of goods sold: $344 ($7,000 - $4,364 - $60,292)
The adjusted cost of goods sold for January is $232,340 ($232,340 + $344).
