The adjusted cost of goods sold can be calculated as follows:
Beginning WIP inventory + Total manufacturing costs - Ending WIP inventory = Cost of goods manufactured
$18,000 + $160,000 - $12,000 = $166,000
Then, to account for any underapplied or overapplied overhead, we add or subtract the amount to/from the cost of goods manufactured:
$166,000 + $1,000 = $167,000
Therefore, the adjusted cost of goods sold is $167,000.
