What is the correct journal entry to prorate the write off


Question - Sim's Fabricating Company is a new company that needs to make a decision about the method to use in adjusting cost of goods sold. Because the company used a budgeted indirect-cost rate for its manufacturing operations, the amount that was allocated ($200 000) was different from the actual amount incurred ($225 000).

Ending balances in the relevant accounts were:

Work-in-process $10000

Finished Goods 20000

Cost of Goods Sold 170000
