1)

Actual overhead cost
Production manager salary 25000
Plant rent 75000
Depreciation on plant and equipment 50000
Plant utilities 19000
Indirect material 1000
Total actual manufacturing overhead 170000

b)

Predetermined overhead rate =Estimated overhead /estimated direct labor hours

                            = 140000/7000  

                            = $ 20 per direct labor hours

Allocated overhead =Actual direct labor hours *Predetermined overhead rate

                      = 7100 *20

                       = $ 142000

Under allocated /(over allocated) overhead =Actual overhead -Applied overhead

                                          = 170000-142000

                                         = $ 28000 under allocated .

c)

Adjusted cost of goods sold = Unadjusted Cost of Goods Sold +under allocated overhead

                                    = 598500+28000

                                    = $ 626500
