Luzadis Company makes furniture using the latest automated technology. The company uses a job-order costing system and applies manufacturing overhead cost to products on the basis of machine-hours. The predetermined overhead rate was based on a cost formula that estimates $814,000 of total manufacturing overhead for an estimated activity level of 74,000 machine-hours. During the year, a large quantity of furniture on the market resulted in cutting back production and a buildup of furniture in the company’s warehouse. The company’s cost records revealed the following actual cost and operating data for the year: Machine-hours 60,000 Manufacturing overhead cost $ 782,000 Inventories at year-end: Raw materials $ 17,000 Work in process (includes overhead applied of $39,600) $ 115,200 Finished goods (includes overhead applied of $112,200) $ 326,400 Cost of goods sold (includes overhead applied of $508,200) $ 1,478,400
