Answer:

1. Under applied ($5,620)

2. Cost of goods sold debit $5,620

Factory overhead credit $5,620

It increase their cost of goods sold by $5,620 while their gross profit would also decrease by $5,620

Explanation:

1. Overhead rate = Cost of manufacturing overhead / Cost driver

= $269,280 / 13,600

= $19.8

Applied actual hours × rate

= 13,100 × $19.80

= $259,380

Actual

($265,000)

Under applied overhead

($5,620)

2. Sales - Cost of goods sold = Gross profit

Sales - (cost of goods sold + $5,620 adjustment) = Gross profit

Sales - cost of goods sold - $5,620 = Gross profit

It therefore means that the gross profit decreased by $5,620
