    COGS will decrease by 2,597 dollars as will decrease by the proration of the factory overhead

    Explanation:

    we do cross mutiplication to solve for the COGS and FG based on actual overhead

    applied actual

    COGS 57,500 54,903 * A

    FG 20,000 19,067 * B

    Total 77, 500 74,000

    *A) 57,500 x 74,000/77,500 = 54,903

    *B) 20,000 x 74,000/77,500 = 19,097

    Decrease in COGS 57,500 - 54,903 = 2,597
