Answer: A. Finished Goods was debited for $82,000 during the month.

Explanation:

Schedule of Cost of Goods Manufactured:

 

  Amount
Direct Materials $25,000
Direct Labor 30,000
Manufacturing Overhead Applied 30,000
Total Manufacturing Cost $85,000
Add: work-in-Process Beginning 15,000
Less: Work-in-Process Ending 18,000
Cost of Goods Manufactured $82,000

Cost of Goods Manufactured relates to the cost of goods that have completed the manufacturing process and will be transferred from Work in Process inventory to Finished Goods inventory. This amount will be debited to Finished Goods inventory to reflect an increase in finished goods.

 

Overhead Variance = Applied Overhead - Actual Overhead

Overhead Variance = $30,000 - $28,000

Overhead Variance = $2,000 over-applied
