Luzadis Company makes furniture using the latest automated technology. The company uses a job$-$order costing system and applies manufacturing overhead cost to products on the basis of machine$-$hours. The predetermined overhead rate was based on a cost formula that estimates $$1,520,000$ of total manufacturing overhead for an estimated activity level of $76,000$ machine$-$hours.

During the year, a large quantity of furniture on the market resulted in cutting back production and a buildup of furniture in the company$$s warehouse. The company$$s cost records revealed the following actual cost and operating data for the year:

Machine$-$hours $64,000$

Manufacturing overhead cost $ $1,471,000$

Inventories at year$-$end:

Raw materials $ $14,000$

Work in process $($includes overhead applied of $$64,000)$ $ $90,500$

Finished goods $($includes overhead applied of $$204,800)$ $ $289,600$

Cost of goods sold $($includes overhead applied of $$1,011,200)$ $ $1,429,900$
