Predetermined Overhead Rate, Overhead Variances, Journal Entries

Craig Company uses a predetermined overhead rate to assign overhead to jobs. Because Craig's production is machine intensive, overhead is applied on the basis of machine hours. The expected overhead for the year was $$5,893,400,$ and the practical level of activity is $373,000$ machine hours.

During the year, Craig used $380,500$ machine hours and incurred actual overhead costs of $$5,931,900.$ Craig also had the following balances of applied overhead in its accounts:

Work$-$in$-$process inventory $ $645,810$

Finished goods inventory $568,560$

Cost of goods sold $1,875,630$
