b) $125,000
c) $115,000
d) $175,000

Answer 1

Answer:

Option B

Cost of goods reported =$ 125,000

Explanation:

Overheads are charged to units produced by the means of using an estimated overhead absorption rate. This rate is computed using budgeted overhead and budgeted activity level.

As a result of this, overhead charged to total units product might be over or under absorbed compared to the actual amount incurred.

The under applied overhead implies that the applied overhead is less than the actual overhead.

This implies that the cost of the goods are under valued. Hence, to accurately valued them, the under applied overhead would be added to the cost of the goods.

Cost of goods reported = cost of goods + under applied overhead

                                       = 120,000 + 5,000 = 125,000

Cost of goods reported =$ 125,000
