Setting aside your answer to the question on Abraham's manufacturing overhead, assume that the actual cost of overhead is $280,000, the applied manufacturing overhead in 2020 is $300,000 (as originally stated in the problem), and the cost of goods sold before considering the amount of overapplied or underapplied overhead is $900,000. Compute the cost of goods sold for 2020 after adjusting for the overapplied/underapplied overhead (do not prorate). Show your work and/or explain your answer in order to receive full credit.

You own a nonunion company with 93 nonexempt employees. all of these employ- ees pack books into boxes for shipment to customers throughout the united states. because of wide differences in performance, you have decided to try performance appraisal, something never done before. until now, you have given every worker the same size increase. now you want to measure performance and reward the best performers with bigger increases. without any further information, which of the five types of appraisal formats do you think would be most appropriate? justify your answer. do you anticipate any complaints, or other comments, from employees after you implement your new system?
