3. $719,900

4. $747,300

5. $382,700

6. $65,500 (over-applied)

Explanation:

1. Cost of direct materials used = $43,000 +210,000 - $ 52,000 - $15,000 = $195,000

2. Cost of direct labor used. = $345,000 - $ 80,000 = $265,000

3. Cost of goods manufactured = $10,200 + $195,000 + $265,000 + $ 80,000 + $15,000  + $185,500 - $21,300 = $719,900

4. Cost of goods sold = $63,000 + $719,900 - $35,600 = $747,300

5. Gross profit = $1,400,000 - $747,300 = $382,700

6. Overapplied or underapplied overhead = $120,000 - $185,500 = $65,500 (over-applied)
