Answer:

$29,750

Explanation:

Direct Labor cost = Factory overheads - Indirect Labor

                              = 357,000 - 86,000

                              = 271,000

Predetermined overhead = 271,000 × 75%

                                          = 203,250

Under-applied OH:

= Indirect materials  + Indirect labor + Other overhead costs - Predetermined overhead

= 21,000 + 86,000  + 126,000 - 203,250

= $29,750

The Journal entry is as follows:

Cost of goods sold A/c  Dr. $29,750

To factory overhead                             $29,750

(To record under-applied overhead to Cost of Goods Sold)
