The overhead that had been applied to production during the year is distributed among the ending balances in the accounts as follows:
For example, of the 40,000 ending balance in Work in Process, 19,500 was overhead that had been applied during the year.
(b) Assume that the company closes any balance in the Manufacturing Overhead account directly to Cost of Goods Sold. Prepare the necessary journal entry.

 Work in process (70000*19500)/390000 3500    

 Finished goods (70000*58500)/390000 10500
