Answer:
Option (c) is correct.
Explanation:
Given that,
Applied overhead to jobs = $567,988
Actual overhead at the end of the year = $575,000
Hence,
Underapplied overhead:
= Actual overhead at the end of the year - Applied overhead to jobs
= $575,000 - $567,988
= $7,012
Therefore, the adjustment for underapplied overhead is a $7,012 underapplied which increases the Cost of Goods Sold.
