EXERCISE 3-17 (30 MINUTES)

5. Cost of goods sold if the underapplied overhead is

closed directly to cost of goods sold

(Sfr 1,400,000 + Sfr 130,000) ... Sfr 1,530,000

Cost of goods sold if the underapplied overhead is

allocated among the accounts

(Sfr 1,400,000 + Sfr 91,000) ... 1,491,000

Difference in cost of goods sold ... Sfr 39,000

Thus, net operating income will be Sfr 39,000 greater if the underap-

plied overhead is allocated rather than closed directly to cost of goods

sold.
