Total fixed costs?

Maverick Manufacturing uses a job-order costing system in which any underapplied or overapplied overhead is closed to cost of goods sold at the end of the month. In October, the company completed job Y72K, which consisted of 30,000 units of one of the company's standard products. No other jobs were in process during the month. The total manufacturing cost for job Y72K, according to its job cost sheet, was $1,500,000. During the month, the actual manufacturing overhead cost incurred was $345,000, while the manufacturing overhead applied was $335,500. Also, 20,000 completed units from job Y72K were sold. No other products were sold during the month. The cost of goods sold that would appear on the income statement for October, after adjustment for any underapplied or overapplied overhead, is closest to: a. $1,009,500 b. $1,500,000 c. $980,700 d. $992,700
