Comfy Feet manufactures slippers. In 2017, the company hired a new bookkeeper who did not have appropriate training. The bookkeeper charged to “production expense” all of the following costs for manufacturing 70,000 pairs of slippers:

Raw materials ................................................................................. $ 30,000
Factory labour .................................................................................. 100,000
Variable manufacturing overhead .................................................     8,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead ......................................................   12,000
Factory depreciation ........................................................................   25,000
Finished goods storage ...................................................................     4,000
Interest for carrying finished goods ..............................................     3,000
Total ...............................................................................................  $182,000


The company had zero work in process at the end of both 2016 and 2017. Finished goods amounted to 5,000 pairs of slippers at $2.40/pair at the end of 2016. There were 6,000 pairs of slippers in finished goods inventory at the end of 2017.


Required:
a. Provide the adjusting journal entry or entries to correct the bookkeeper’s errors and properly record the above expenditures recorded in the “production expense” account.
