The adjusted cost of goods sold that appears on the income statement for February is:
$=

$186,700

Explanation:

The computation of adjusted cost of goods sold is shown below:-

Before that we need to do the following calculations

Raw material consumed = Beginning raw material + Raw material purchases - Ending raw materials - Raw materials included in  manufacturing overhead costs  as indirect materials

= $40,000 + $63,000 - $24,000 - $5,000

= $74,000

Total manufacturing cost = Beginning work in progress + Raw material consumed + Direct labor cost + Manufacturing overhead cost - Ending work in progress

= $23,000 + $74,000 + $73,700 + $48,000 - $17,000

= $201,700

Unadjusted Cost of goods sold = Raw materials + Total manufacturing cost - Ending finished goods

= $50,000 + $201,700 - $72,000

= $179,700

Adjusted COGS = Unadjusted Cost of goods sold + Underapplied overhead

= $179,700 + ($55,000 - $48,000)

= $179,700 + $7,000

= $186,700

don't use it that much

there was no passage listed but using the process of elimination i'd say it was d. the high economy would do the opposite. i don't see how low prices would affect it. high unemployment is possible but i feel d is the better answer.
