The adjusted cost of goods sold that would appear on the income statement for July is:

Answer 1

Answer:

$259,500

Explanation:

The cost of goods sold can be calculated using the following formula:

Cost of goods sold = Beginning finished goods + Cost of goods manufactured - Ending finished goods +/-  Under / (Over) Obsorbed OH

Here

Beginning finished goods $51,800

Ending finished goods $44,700 and

Cost of goods manufactured $246,000

Overhead is under obsorbed by $6,400 ($127,400 - $121,000)

By putting values we have:

Cost of goods sold = $51,800 + $246,000 - $44,700 + $6,400 = $259,500
