1.) Overhead is applied using direct labor hours. The budget overhead for 2017 was $320,000 and the budget for direct labor hours for 2017 was 16,000 hours. How many direct labor hours were worked during 2017?

2.) Assume that the actual cost of overhead is $280,000, the applied manufacturing overhead in 2017 is $300,000 (as originally stated in the problem), and the cost of goods sold before considering the amount of overapplied or underapplied overhead is $900,000. Compute the cost of goods sold for 2017 after adjusting for the overapplied/underapplied overhead (do not prorate). Show your work and/or explain your answer in order to receive full credit.
